New Zealand Hikes Blog

By Peter Potterfield - November 7th, 2007

Hello, this is GreatOutdoors.com editor Peter Potterfield. It's Springtime in New Zealand, a good time to head down for some hiking just as the snow begins to fly in North America. I'll be flying from Seattle to Los Angeles, and from there down to Auckland. It's a long flight, about 14 hours, but well worth it when you step off the plane into a Kiwi spring.

I'll hang in Auckland for a short day getting the gear and equipment I couldn't fly with, and then head up to the Bay of Islands region, into a small airport called Kerikeri, on Thursday, Nov 8, New Zealand time. My goal is to hike out to the end of Cape Brett, overnight there, and hike back. We'll see how the weather goes. The funky and historic beach town of Russell is the logistical staging area, and with any luck I'll get in some kayaking as well. Stay tuned, I'll try to update the blog daily, newest reports on top, as internet access allows. From Bay of Islands, it's over to the Northland West Coast for 90-Mile Beach and the Herekino Forest Track, then down to Gisborne for the Lake Waikaremoana Track, then down to Blenheim on the South Island for the four day Queen Charlotte Sound Track.

Looking forward to your reports.

Auckland hikes

Go with the Auckland tramping Club if you want a successful hike.To go from Kerikeri to the start of the cape brett track is expensive. To go on the track you need permission from landowners.
A club can offer real benefits: A to B trips, less hassle because the trip is planned, more adventure because you go with experienced people, more social time than just with family or workmates, less damage to your car on rough roads, the option for a couple of going on different parties i.e. slow and fast.

The state examining firewall

The state examining firewall provides sophisticated filtering that goes beyond the rules that you set up to allow specific traffic to flow. The firewall can also control locally attached switches to stop, say, a worm-infected computer on the local network from infecting others. It works sexy lingerie sexy costumes bedroom furniture by setting up thresholds and disconnecting the switch if these are exceeded. This is clearly a very good idea, especially so in the light of recent successful worm attacks, but you need to keep in mind that it only works with D-Link switches that support ZoneDefence.
