Location

Karepiro Bay, Auckland, New Zealand

Just happens to be where I do a 16k run, lucky as there is no other way in.

Plans

Go to work, work, bit more work, bit more..

Then change into running kit, nick a GPS on my way out the door and head up to Okura Bush Scenic Reserve for a nice trail run. On my way back I'll nip into the clearing and play GPS tag until I get it.

Expedition

Was pretty awesome. Snuck out of work at around 4pm and headed up to Okura. Was there in about 20mins, chucked my camel pack on, checked I had the GPS and camera and then trotted off for a quick run.

Scoped out the clearing on my way past the first time, the halfway mark for the run was a wee bit further so smashed that out and came back for a little break and some hash finding.

As always its never as easy as you think! Damn you, nature. A pretty grass clearing was actually a swamp in the middle, but some careful navigating and quick side steps over rather spongy grass/ a creek, and I was there.

Photos taken and me finally happy that I'd achieved a hash this year. Man, and I thought it was never going to happen.

Sorry you weren't here Greenslime, maybe next time...

Tracklog

Photos

Maps make things simple.
Hash clearing is behind that cottage.
GPS evidence, job done.
I sweat because I run.
Nice view from the beach.
