Kia Ora Hut

In 2011, on an autumn mission to Kia Ora Falls and Castle Crag, I was walking the Overland Track just past Kia Ora hut around 11am. An unlikely group of runners approached from the south. They were completing what they dubbed, “The Lap of Pelion East.” Nine years later, Kylie and I were looking for a winter adventure and decided to complete a 'Lap' of our own.
