Recently over our Labour Weekend, my partner and I did the overnight walk to the Pinnacles in the Coromandel Peninsula. Quite a neat walk as it traverses the Kauaeranga River several times.

Fantastic. I've been there too! So long ago, as a kid, so I can hardly remember, but that cliff shot is burned into my memory something proper!

Also did a number of tracks on Great Barrier as a kid too.

Awesome, thanks. I would love to do some walks on Great Barrier and spend time there.
I've flown in and out briefly, when my mate was flying

Nice. Training at Ardmore or North Shore? I've flown out a few times when I got my license at Ardmore :D

We used to sail there most Christmases though, when I was a wee one.

Fantastic images!!

It must have been 10 years since I've been up to the Pinnacles but I seem to remember being blown away literally while climbing the ladder to the top :lol:.
