I love exploring this beautiful region, and have enjoyed getting to know some of the great (short/medium) walking tracks around the area. If you need some motivation to get out and about, or just want company, I'd be happy to team up and we can walk together! Some of the tracks I've done, and would be happy to do together, are: Lake Mangamahoe, Wilkies Pools, York Road Loop Track, the Tarns (from Mangorei Road end up past Pouakai Hut), Veronica's Loop, Translator Road up to Tahurangi Lodge, etc. I don't mind taking my time if you're just getting into hiking and need to take it slow. Happy to do flatter or urban walks too (ie the coastal walkway) if you just want company and motivation but don't want to go bush!
