The Kiwi/Aussie and I had planned to do the
Routeburn and do it with B’s sister during Easter.
However, T (the sister) managed to break her foot some months ago and it was clear that
while the Routeburn is shorter it is a more difficult hike on a slightly dodgy foot. Instead, we settled on the Queen Charlotte Track
in the Marlborough Sounds as B had not done it and T had missed one section, due
to it being closed after a dispute with the landowners over which part of the
track traversed. It was at least ten
years since I did it so I thought it would be good to do it again and refresh
my memory. The other advantage of the
track is that you can get a boat to deliver a bag to each stop which means only
having to carry food for the day, water, some wet weather gear and warm
clothing.
