area in search of coal and gold. This track, using remnants of older trails, has been created in memory of the 29 men who lost their lives in the Pike River mine disaster in 2010.

We spent the night before the walk, listening to gale force winds, and torrential rain in Greymouth. In the morning we made the call to abandon plans, but our shuttle driver assured us it would be fine by 10.30am, so he’d pick us up at www.walkingnewzealand.co.nz
