Hiking near Dunedin

hiking near Dunedin.

i promise to never go this long without camping again!

the other day i decided to go camping. i mean, i have a job now/soonish. i'm not gonna have all the free time in the world anymore. we took THE road out of Dunedin for 20 minutes north, turned off on Double Hill Rd and then 19 minutes later we were at the parking area for the Silver Peaks Trek. it was 4 1/2 hours in and 3 hours out. the hut is new and awesome. only problem is no fireplace. boo. we made do with a really nice cook fire down by the creek. followed that up with a few hands or cards and then a super early bed time.

the worst part of the walk in was the aptly named "Devil's Staircase". as i mention in one of the videos, it was known by many other names after we conquered it's descent. on the way up it wasn't too bad. the worst part of the walk home was the last hour of mud bath track that we had to slog through. but i thought it was fun regardless.
