Thinking about hiking the Tongariro Crossing. Here is a list of a few items that you will need.
1. Food and water - very important to keep up your energy and to keep hydrated.
2.Cellphone - in case of an emergency.
3. Suitable clothing such as Jackets, strong sturdy shoes, and warm clothing.
4. First Aid Kit - for any type of injury
5. Map - to keep track of where you have been and where you are going
I would also make sure I was fit enough to complete the walk. I would check the weather. I would make sure someone knew where I was going to be and roughly what time I would be back. Lastly have a plan in place, including transport, rough time of return, emergency supplies, contacts and learning about the walk before I go on it, so I have a little idea of what to expect.
My mum was thinking about doing this crossing before she injured her ankle. She had thought about taking me with her. But she wasn't sure if my fitness level was ready. Maybe next year her and I can do it together.
Do you know of any other hikes that you can do in New Zealand? Have you done any of them.
