The ups and downs

The Tussock Traverse goes from Tukino, on the Desert Road side of Ruapehu, across the most spectacular landscape, to Whakapapa. Fantastic conditions, amazing organisation and the friendliest marshals you could ask for. And a running/walking buddy who was great company. Two ‘broken’ runners, we walked and ran the 26km together and finished together. Difficult to pick the best photo of the day…. so here’s one at the start and one somewhere on the way!

Arrived at The Château to check in for the Tussock Traverse. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day tomorrow. I still find this grand old building to be quite incongruous to its surroundings but it is a true reflection of the sort of things that were built in colonial times.
