Feb 03, 2020 Aorangi Crossing Trail Report

A character building route. I started from the North at Ruakokopatuna and travelled out to the Pinnacles. Good open country with views to be had when you want to stop and take it in. This is a tough route with an estimated 6-7km of hill walking that can’t be ridden as it’s too steep and or very rocky. Good adventure that not many people have tried. Two things for preparation, take lots of water (I had almost four litres and ran out), and ensure your bike especially brakes are in good condition.
