QUEEN CHARLOTTE TRACK





The Queen Charlotte track in the Marlborough Sounds is one of the most beautiful walking tracks in the world. It meanders around Queen Charlotte Sound and then there is a saddle crossing to Pelorus Sound. At almost every point of the track there are astounding sea views through native bush.
We did this walk a few years ago and opted for the luxury version. This was a 4 day walk, each day varying between 6 hours and 9 hours walking but staying each night in lodge/hotel accommodation with great food and wine. At Pelorus there was a half day kayaking as well. I would recommend this walk to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of New Zealand without having to be an experienced tramper.

Curmudgeon,
Not altogether a bad post. It's just that the topic was a bit last year. Check out my blog for some ideas on how to put together a post. No need to thank.

Thank you Richards.
Hey, do you know what 'Richards' are in cockney rhyming slang?

Well done Pete. I remember Richard and I going down there when we were in the band at St Pat's. Richard found a shark with hydatis tape worms and told me to stay away!
