New Zealand Walk: Beat the heat - do the Donald Drift

On what was to be the hottest day ever recorded in Napier, February 2, 2020 a group of six Heretaunga Tramping Club members had an early start from Havelock North.

Our destinatio­n was the Lawrence Road End trails in the Kaweka Forest Park about an hour’s drive up the Taihape Road, west of Napier.

Peter and Colin decided to take the six hour option and go down the Tutaekuri River Gorge.
