Stray
Day 4 - 26/10/12
'We depart at 6.30am (bad weather, depart 10am) and head to the active volcanoes and dual World Heritage of 'Tongariro National Park'. Today you get a chance to do what is rated as one of the world’s best one day walks - the Tongariro Alpine Crossing; or you can carve it up at NZ’s largest ski area, Mt Ruapehu. In the evening, reward yourself at the bar or just relax in the spa where we stay.'
Todays activity is a 18.5km 8 hour hike called the Alpine Crossing. The price is 109 is guided and 35 if unguided - depending on weather! The previous night we were told it was 35 so I thought I'd do it, I bought plenty of food and drink to take. Annoyingly on the morning it had been decided it had to be guided (109!) so I decided not to do it. Instead I did the free 2 hour walk - complete with 5 sandwiches, lots of chocolate and energy drinks!
