- In Spring 2023 I will embark on my most ambitious adventure yet, Te Araroa - New Zealand’s Trail. A continuous 3,000 kilometre (1,864 mile) walking track from Cape Reinga at the top of the North Island to Bluff at the bottom of the South Island in New Zealand.

I anticipate it will take around 110 to 130 days which means an average of about twenty five kilometres a day.. every day!
For comparison, the longest hike I’ve done up until now was in Fiordland on the Routeburn and Greenstone Tracks and that trip took five days and was about one hundred and five kilometres. As you can see, this is a massive step up and one I’m hugely excited about.
Preparations are well underway which include sorting the logistics, training, organising gear and all sorts of other planning, I’ve still got to find a tent! There’s so much to organise and one of my biggest projects presently is preparing all the food as I’ll be relying on bounce or re-supply boxes the whole way.
In the winter months before I start the Trail, I’ll create a series of videos on these topics so watch out for them, they’ll be particularly useful if you’re planning something similar.
Once on Trail, I’ll be sharing daily updates on all my social media channels and on completion, there’ll be a feature documentary posted to TH-cam.
While on trail, I hope to meet as many people as possible, especially followers and supporters of the Freewheeling Kiwi so please do send me a direct message or email if you live along or near to the trail as I’d love to meet you.
If you know of or are a business and would like to support the trip in some way, please do get in touch ahead of time as I’m sure we can figure out someway to work together.
In the meantime, take care, lots of love Sharon 😀

Thanks for visiting my channel, my mission is to inspire and motivate others to spend time in nature and reconnect with the outdoors, wherever that might be and at whatever level they are comfortable with.
The best things in life happen when we're outside of our comfort zone and until we push our boundaries, we'll never know what we like or what we're capable of. Independent and self-supported travel is for all of us however sometimes knowing where to start, how to prepare or what to expect can be a little overwhelming. I'm here to help and encourage you on your way.
Please share this channel with someone you think might benefit from it, so that they too will be inspired and encouraged to spend more time in nature.
See you on the trails, Sharon Evans 🌳🏕️🌲 🚴 🥾 🛶 🥾🏔 🌲

I'm so excited for you! xxx
Thanks Sandra 💚🙏💚
What an amazing adventure that's going to be!!! I'm so happy for you. Looks like a big challenge, but after watching your tenacity on your various tramps, hikes, etc you'll be ok for this. You got this. Definitely will be following along and hoping to connect with you on your travel through the South Island. Will keep in touch. Wow. I'm very excited for you... Your going to need one or two of these when you complete your dream... 👉🍾🍾🥂
Thanks so much 💚💚 there’ll certainly be some celebrating 🥳 even making it to the south end of 90 Mile Beach 🏖️ 😂.
All going to plan, we’ll be aiming mid South Island around the New Year. If you want, send me message closer to the time via FB or Insta 👩💻
As well, I’m writing a newsletter with updates www.freewheelingkiwi.com/newsletter 📰
Looking forward to following this
Have started today, check out my Shorts for daily updates 😀
@@FreewheelingKiwi saw that 😁 good luck and look after those feet
How did I miss this! What a journey. I did the Camino last year, nowhere near as challenging, though a fantastic adventure and story. I’m so glad you’re doing this
The Camino looks epic, it’s down for the future 😀😀
Can't wait to see you in the south island, getting close now til you start
Thanks! The weeks are just rushing by at present and still so much to do 😀
