By 10am, we were all packed up and ready to hit the road. The next section of trail consists of a 15km road walk into Kaitaia, followed by 6km of walking on state highway 1 and 15 further kilometres of quieter roads to reach the next section of track. Initially, I had assumed I would walk all or most of this. ...<br/>The post Te Araroa day 5: Rainy road walks and friendly cows appeared first on The Trek.<br/><br/><a href="https://thetrek.co/te-araroa-day-5-rainy-road-walks-and-friendly-cows/">https://thetrek.co/te-araroa-day-5-rainy-road-walks-and-friendly-cows/</a><br/><br/>#road #kaitaia #initially<br/><br/>#rss #feeds #linksharing #qwibbit 2026-11-01T04:40:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyzsg4qt3efacy35c2nfn4gmehcq59fqa0qfvl7hgyh4l4jkwvcqqzyrpw7g997z0czdeed8apxkw57vpemf3du8fennrvxhcww9xq9epljd75ym5 Kili Day 5 – Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp<br/><br/>Kili Day 5 – Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp<br/>Fri Oct 23<br/>3.3m<br/>Climb 1478 ft<br/>From Barranco Camp (elev 12,950 ft, 3950m)<br/>To Karanga Camp (elev 13,100 ft, 3993m)<br/>Overnight and Stars<br/>I only woke up twice, at 2 and 4.

Water in the Desert<br/><br/>I looked across the river. The churning water was so thick with silt that the flow had turned a milky gray-green. A coyote’s lonely squalling unfurled like smoke in the dawn, unanswered. Just a fingernail sliver of a moon above the horizon.<br/>Slowly, heavily, I pulled my feet up and out of the quicksand. The gelatinous muddy bank sucked at my shoes and almost took one, but didn’t. On solid ground I passed a sign warning of flash floods and the many thousands of tumbleweeds caught up in the barbed wire fence. ...<br/>The post 18.

We expect that his body just isn’t recovering because of the constant stress of hiking. But, he’s feeling good enough to get out today.
