    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    I would reccomend Pinnicals,

    Firstly it has some good uphill to test your stamina.
    Nice big hut at the end.
    And Its a decent walk.

    Also, The hunua ranges have some good tramps if you do it with a mate and take a tent to sleep in.

    I would reccomend this one in the Waitakares but its for rather experienced trampers and involves canyoning and walking thorugh swampy stuff.
    If you live in our around Auckland come play TAG-O-RAMA with us!

    Have you done a 10km time trial yet? Reliably running 10km in under 60 minutes without redlining yourself is sort of the starting point if you plan on running marathons, half marathons etc.

    If I were you I'd get out there and check that ASAP.

    Also theres a couple places on the way up where you can go for a bit of a swim to cool off, if my memory serves me right.
    Never let your enemy see your emotions, for it is the one weapon they will value most.
