South New Zealand is one of my favorite destinations in the world. It was time to pay the North Island a visit, focused on hiking & trail running.
The very basics to consider for your adventures. First-aid kit I bring with me and basic techniques that I used to teach when working as a lifeguard.
An easy route full of beaches, varied rock formations, and colors, but full of plastics and not so clean water frequently. Good for beginners.
Hong Kong is surrounded by sea. Most of the time we explore the coastline coasteering. Another option is open water swim.
Pok To Yan North stream (箔刀屻北坑) with its various tributaries is recommended only for the most hardcore “I want to see all streams”.
A back up short coasteering if the sea conditions are not at their best around. Allows you to enjoy some of the views ending on a nice beach.
An easy, short, nice stream with several waterfalls and pools in Lantau. To add for a long day or good for beginners (explanation) on its own.
Fun caves, good scrambling walls, relatively clear water, quite some fishes & green egg island around the Clear Water Bay Headland.
I have several friends and readers who have asked me about my weekday training and recovery exercises. This post is going to be long and I’ll update/improve it for a while.
