Walked for about four hours from the beginning of the park to the Anchorage Hut. Arrived to find a part of 23 senior citizens on their annual tramping holiday. The average age was probably 75. They were planning to walk twice as far as I was the next day. New Zealanders are serious about tramping.
I also met a very nice German girl who forgot the insoles of her hiking boots, and a 20-year-old guy from Quebec kayaking and hiking the park.

With countryside like this, I can see why the locals are very serious about tramping. What a privilege it must be to intimately know such a gorgeous place! It must be wonderful to visit annually and see first-hand how the landscape changes.
