8 Days on the Dusky Track, Fiordland
Jan 28 2015 - Feb 4 2016
Starting at Lake Hauroko, up to Lake Roe and up Tamatea Peak then down to Supper Cove in Dusky Sound before heading out to the West Arm of Lake Manapouri.
Dusky Track - A Fiordland Hike
This is a short video about my hike on Dusky Track in Fiordland on New Zealand's South Island in 2016. While large parts of the track cross dense rainforest there are also more mountainous sections with great scenery. The hike was a wet experience as already on the starting day there were about 100 mm of rainfall. There are some rough sections on the trail and I had (due to high water levels) some challenging stream crossings. Nonetheless, it was great, and I preferred it to the touristy and regulated Great Walks. The huts on this track are small and cozy - for once I did not use my tent.

In Pursuit of Adventure: Dusky
Set in the middle of Fiordland, on the South Island of New Zealand, Dusky Track is one of New Zealand's toughest hikes. A great challenge for anyone looking for a true adventure.

The Dusky Track
New Zealand's most difficult track has a reputation, taking twice as long as similar routes. For a trail that traverses mighty alpine passes, meanders among tarns, and plunges into dark forrested valleys deep in the wettest place on earth - the 7 days pass by remarkably quickly with a surprising amount of variation. Just don't ask about the knee-deep mud, the relentless sandflies, tired old huts, and constant rain.
