I went tramping
through the Waitakeres with the tramping club at uni. (For any americans reading this “tramping” is what you call hiking and is not the same as what tramping is over there. We tramped/hiked for something like four hours with way too much uphill and I nearly died but they people were nice and some of the veiws were so beautiful. We stayed the night in a little hut somewhere in the middle of the ranges and then tramped down to Murawai beach the next day.

The dam
in that photo is really cool (assuming it’s the dam I’m thinking of in the waitak’s). I like dams. I went there a couple of years ago – it was a stinking hot day and you have to walk down a long concrete road, and I had enough of that about halfway down. But, the engineering is impressive, and it’s quite pretty down there. Everyone should visit.

Excellent Place
its well worth driving through Auckland and going into the Waitakere Ranges if you like walking, tramping, remote beaches ( I can recommend Whatipu), dams and BIG trees….
