Sophia Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Just thought I'd share a few pics of Rangitoto from my trip yesterday. Spent most of the day walking but have now been to all the places on the map as far as Islington Bay. What I like best is the quietness. It's within spitting distance of the city but once you are a few mins down the track the silence descends and you are in the wilderness. The 'path' to Wreck Bay with Motutapu in the background. This is what they call a difficult path - I call it complicated. Mostly flat but as it's basically just walking on lava it's uneven and often moving under your feet. Kicked a stone into my ankle and rolled both of them at least once - next time I'd wear hiking boots. You could walk it very slowly amd carefully and get to Wreck Bay in the 50 mins they suggest but we walked briskly and got there in about half that. Very interesting moss that looked like Father Christmas' beard from a distance, up close looks like coral It's me, pre-burnt crab legs stage...
