新西兰步道爬山日记： Karamu Walkway North and South, Waikato 21/06/2014 Perry 今天是个半阴天儿，Derek和我一早7点半就匆匆忙忙朝着Hamilton附近的Pirongia森林公园方向驶去。那里有一条我们从未涉足过的步道Karamu Walkway，Derek计划好后直到昨晚临睡前才告诉我。我听说明天的步道有20多公里长，冬天里走这么长的山路，不免有些担心。 这条步道包括南北两段，北段2.7公里和南段7.8公里，今天只有我们俩和一部车，所以我们只好走个来回了。步道的两头都有10几分钟的森林步道，其余则是走在私人牧场里。我想夏天我不会来这里走，牧场的步道虽有美丽无边的芊芊绿茵，但没有树木的遮掩，太晒了，冬季里如果无风无雨倒是个极好的选择。
