New Zealand Feb 2012 - Dusky Track Day 5 - Day Trip to Supper Cove

New Zealand Feb 2012 - Dusky Track Day 5 - Day Trip to Supper Cove

Loch MareeThe track from Loch Maree Hut to Supper Cove Hut is about 12km one way. Sometimes it is on "paved" paths, cut and laid by miners in the early 1900s, but some of it is just as boggy as most of the rest of the Dusky Track! Keep that in mind when considering a 24km round trip! That's a half of the total distance of walking straight through from Lake Hauroko to Wilmot Pass Road.
"As the ancient myth makers knew, we are children equally of the earth and the sky." - Carl SaganSo whilst it became quite a long day, it was still achieved by walking through some glorious bush!

Supper Cove really felt like a milestone for us, a landmark of why we came on this trek.
Back to Day 4. On to Days 6-8.
