Coastal walk microadventure (NZ)

We just did a coastal walk close to home in Whangarei Heads, New Zealand. Our son decided that school and staying with grandma was better than coming with us, so we had a blissful childfree couple of days. The trail head is just a 15 minute drive away from our house. The trail starts off on a big open beach and sweeps in to a small forestry block before getting in to the bush proper. Although the distance isn't huge, the initial incline gets the heart pumping and the trail itself is quite difficult to negotiate due to rocks and tree roots.

We stayed in a Department of Conservation (DOC) hut overnight which we had to ourselves. We did a little swimming and fishing. I caught some small trevally. Not big enough to keep, but it was just for fun anyway. We had a slow start the next day. After breakfast and a quick swim, we started the walk back.
