A short “Reconditioning” hike done in the morning (prior to going to family engagements in the Afternoon), in an attempt to get my body used to Hiking again. Indeed, haven’t done any real hiking for over a month and was concerned that I might become seriously unconditioned.
The route taken ended up being very similar to the Auckland Hiking Group’s – Swanson Pipeline Waitakere Dam loop which was done in October 2016. Photos from the original meetup can be found here. IMHO, the photos from that time turned out better as there was water flowing down the dam, (where as today, there wasn’t)
Total time taken was about 4 hours (Including stops and some bush bashing that got a little precarious… Stuck in some supple jack down a steep 45° muddy slope.)
