Gliding is not supposed to be very interesting today so Carl, a few hang glider pilots and I decide to walk to Canyon Creek Route in the beautiful Ahuriri Valley<\/p><\/div>\n

Andr\u00e9 (of Dutch descent) trying to cross this little stream without getting wet feet<\/p><\/div>\n

The highest point<\/a> of the Canyon Creek Route, from left to right: Jeff, John, Andr\u00e9, me, Carl<\/p><\/div>\n

The view north, further up the creek, we decide to walk down there as well<\/p><\/div>\n

This is next to that grassy bit in the previous photo, Carl starting to wonder if he shouldn’t be flying<\/p><\/div>\n

Another group photo, Mt Barth in the distance<\/p><\/div>\n

Further upstream, Carl and Andr\u00e9 have already returned and Jeff is taking a refreshing soak in the river somewhere<\/p><\/div>\n

Which leaves just John and me to go as far north as here, I’ve been here before<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

On the way back, at the highest point again, Barrier Range looking great<\/p><\/div>\n

This is where we’ll soon be walking through again, back to the car<\/p><\/div>\n

A last photo of Jeff and John before we arrive back to the car where we wondered why Carl and Andr\u00e9 weren’t there (they got lost and despite returning to the car an hour before Jeff, John and I did, they arrived about an hour later, awesome display of navigation skills!)<\/p><\/div>\n

Map and height profile of today’s hike (12.1 km)<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
