Come with us as we take you for a walk on the wainui hill through the jungle gym track. It was a little windy on that day but nonetheless it was such a nice tramp. The track was sheltered by the trees very good on a hot day. We really enjoy this track.

Rimutaka Forest Park : Catchpool Valley, Butchers Track, Cattle Ridge, Orongorongo Valley.
Hiking is called tramping in New Zealand FYI
This is my first go at documenting some of my travels, trips and outings around New Zealand and the world. I’m new to this creativity, so forgive the shaky camera and basic editing ( I used the free iMovie app on my iPad, and I can tell you the music options are limited...)
Walk with me through the beautiful woods of Rimutaka Forest Park, Wellington Region, New Zealand.
19/8/2018
From the Catchpool Valley carpark we joined the Butchers Track which took us very steeply up to Cattle Ridge. The views towards Wellington and the ocean were spectacular. We could even see snow on the peaks of the South Island mountains.
The ridge soon became surrounded by dense trees and we almost got lost. Our quiet wander was only interrupted by the gorgeous song of the native Tui.
The track opened out onto the Orongorongo riverbed which runs at the base of two steep, tree covered cliffs. The valley was empty and still; you could imagine a dinosaur emerging from the trees to drink from the stream.
Our return to the car coincided with golden hour, and the warm, dappled sunlight through the canopy kept our tired legs moving.
