The Queen Charlotte Track is a 71km long New Zealand walking track between Queen Charlotte Sound and Kenepuru Sound in the Marlborough Sounds. It extends from Ship Cove in the north to Anakiwa in the south.
Queen Charlotte Track is the Marlborough Sounds section of the Te Araroa Trail. Te Araroa is New Zealand’s long distance tramping trail stretching 3000km (1850 miles) along the length of the country from Cape Reinga in the north to Bluff in the South.
I walked the Queen Charlotte Track over three days starting out on September 1st 2018. On the first day I was treated to a beautiful fine day, but the other two days it rained heavily on and off. The scenery was beautiful despite the bad weather.
This was the first test of some new gear which I have purchased ahead of my thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2019. Most of the gear I was very pleased with.
