We make it to North Cape

We make it to North Cape just as the sun is setting.


We spent the day fishing and snorkelling along this coast and had a massive feed that night or pouriri, red mokey, paua and crabs over our open fire.

We caught heaps of porori.

5 July 2008

I joined my flatmate Ryan for few days on a mission up north to get to North Cape, the most northern point of NZ on the Aupouri Peninsula (not Cape Reinga like everyone thinks).

After getting lost and stuck on the endless rugged metal forestry roads on the first night, the locals confirmed that no one ever goes out there because of the locked gates, shitty 4 wheel drive roads, steep cliffs and scientific reserve and they just thought we were crazy. So we kitted up our packs and headed off by foot on what turned out to be a 12 hour return hike, with the last 6 hours being through the night under the stars. But we made it.
