We arrived on Stewart Island this afternoon to do a tramp we've been talking about since this time last year. The tramp takes the average hiker 10 days, we've packed 14 days worth of food. It's a classic hike. Most folks we talk to that have done the tramp say they are glad they did it but they would never do it again. The trail is said to be ankle-to-knee deep mud most of the way and the sandflies are heavy. The weather is calling for rain for the next 10 days, so it'll be interesting. We'll see...
We hitched a ride on a jet-boat to get across a major river crossing on our last hike. Funny!
No card reader to post pictures from this island, but soon..

how do you pack 14 days worth of food? i am intrigued!
sent you guys an email. Didnt go through. While at Stewart, Check out Rawhiti Excursion. $70 half day fishing. includes lunch and some catch to take home. It was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC. Line fishing very easy. Blue cod, oysters, sea urchins etc. Small boat. Very nice guy.
