Te Araroa: movin' on

Send us a text

The Blissful Hiker is tripped by a branch, rolling her ankle and falling down hard. But miraculously, she can still walk and is offered many chances to start over on this hike, move on and forgive.

In this episode:

1. The day starts crossing the longest footbridge in the Southern Hemisphere over the Whananaki Estuary. 
2. A local moves her along, as does a big black cow.
3. At Tane Moana, she sees a massive kauri and then wipes out and sprains her ankle. 
4. A trail angel named Cheryl gives her ice, arnica and an Ace bandage.
5. Estuaries, beaches and bush take her finally to Tidesong, where she sees the "kayak boys" and a second chance to forgive and let go.

MUSIC: Movin' On by Rhonda Larson as played by Alison Young.
