Walking the Queen Charlotte Track: First Steps on the South Island, New Zealand | Te Araroa Vlog 1

Ooh, now we're talking. That teail looks lovely. And wine at the end of the day? Winning!

Well, what can I say ….. chalk and cheese on the island front! Mind you, day 1. Still, I’m loving the change to luxe vibe and 5 o’clock glass of wine 🍷 Happy New Year 😊

Kiwi (easy mistake) 😍 but those Weka's are bloody cheeky birds that like to steal your stuff eh. The Queen Charlotte is indeed a beautiful section but gives you a false idea of what's ahead in the Richmonds Ranges section which will kick your ass but is Epic !!! So looking forward to your walk through their soon.

I can’t believe I made that mistake though-so embarrassed!! I bet everyone knows it’s a Weka, not a Kiwi! 🤦‍♀ The Queen Charlotte was such an incredible section, but I’ve heard the Richmond Ranges are next-level tough. Can’t wait (and slightly terrified) to tackle them soon. Thanks for the heads-up and the support! 🥾🔥

@toughgirlchallenges Nah ! You'll be fine Sarah, just a long haul with 10 days food carry but would be good to do the Rintouls and Wairoa River with others 😍
