>>2548713Yeah, the Tararuas around the Crossing track. Great bit of country. Extremely untamed but worth the trip.
The borders opening have been annoying but it’s mostly confined to the National Walks. I decided against doing the Abel Tasman until later this year because of it, just too many people crowding the track and the huts. May and June are the ultimate pleb filters so I just enjoy my walks then.
Also summer has produced a lot more critters. Pic of the massive weta which tried to have a go at my leftovers.
