Walking / Hiking - Inglewood, Stratford, Egmont National Park

I love exploring this beautiful region, and have enjoyed getting to know some of the great 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! If you've been wanting to try out some of the tracks around the area but are a bit unsure and want to go with someone who's already done them, I've done lots of tracks around the area so we can go together. Some of the tracks I've done 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'm not a fitness freak, so 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!
