On Tuesday April 30th we walked up Mt. Manaia with Doug's two local grandsons aged 16 and 17. Needless to say they were well ahead of us. see here
It was another lovely sunny day and we thoroughly enjoyed the walk although my legs were sore for several days afterwards. As you can see it is an excellent path mainly made up of many lots of stairs.
I can imagine how much your legs must have ached after all those steps, but what a wonderful view at the top - you must have felt it was well worth all the effort.
It was my first time and I was a bit apprehensive as everyone told me how hard it is. Not too bad really - took us an hour which was what the board at the bottom said.

ReplyDeleteThe majority of the shots of the view were actually taken from "The Bluff" which is about 2/3 of the way up.
DeleteYour photos are stunning, Susan! I haven't been up there for several years. Must do this walk again as the views are amazing!

DeleteWow, that is a steep climb, but it seems that the view was worth it.
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely worth it.
DeleteWow good for you making that climb. With bad lungs, arthritis and only one good eye (easily disoriented) I never would have made it.
ReplyDeleteYou got to see the photos anyway.
DeleteYour walkers are certainly looked after. All those beautifully made steps...
ReplyDeleteYes, I am most impressed with the walkways here in Whangarei.
DeleteThe stairs reflect the trees' branches, up and up and up. What a climp and good for you.
ReplyDeleteFeels good to have done it - now I want to do it again some time.
DeleteMy legs are aching just looking at those steps.

Yes, it took a couple of days before I really felt the effect.
