I would add that NZ bush walks aren't curated forest walks. You're walking through rough dense terrain. Check the weather, be prepared for sudden changes and carry food and water for a couple of extra days and a PLB. That or stick to the super popular tracks but they're just not the same.
- dzhiurgis 10y agoAny chance you could link into some material how to do this correctly? So far I've been sticking to tracks and they were good enough for me. But it does feel like I should go off-road. I've been to a walk with a meetup group, but that wasn't proper bush either.
