GTGO Easter Adventure – 2016

This Easter a crew of five road tripped to National Park New Zealand for an epic four day adventure weekend that included hiking, mountainbiking, rock climbing, motorbiking, chair lifts, hostel-cooking and amazing memories for all.

Ruth, Marea, Pia and Rebecca all put themselves out of their comfort zone, and did amazing; They proved that getting out and away from the city is the best way to have a long weekend!

The trip went like this:

– Friday AM: departed The Raw Kitchen
– Friday PM: arrived National Park Backpackers @ Yha then hit the Lower Tama Lake hike (access from next to Scotel driveway behind Chateau)[/span6][span6]- Saturday AM: Tongariro Crossing in terrible weather! (our luck..)
– Sunday, AM: checked out Whakapapa Village (Rob headed over to Ohakune)
– Sunday, PM: mountainbiking with MY KIWI ADVENTURE on the ‘Mountain To Sea’ track (Fisher Track, 27km of the most amazing scenery)
– Monday AM, indoor Rock Climbing with YHA (just $15, bargain!)
– Monday AM drove home, then debriefed at Chapel Bar & Bistro!

A huge shout out to our friends at Macpac who ensured all the team had great gear at special prices.
