Day 97 : Egmont National Park



Drove from Te Kuite to New Plymouth for the rugby on Monday. Surf blown out today, so went for an afternoon walk on Mt Egmont (Mt Taranaki) up the Summit Track until we were blocked by snow, and then back down past the Maketawa hut, through lots of thick forest. After yesterday’s soaking, we took the precaution of making some overtrousers out of black bin-liners but, despite a bit of occasional hail and snow, it was a lot drier than yesterday’s hike.

Free camping tonight, somewhere outside NP.
