Wondering if there are any other LD runners on GZ? I'd be interested in seeing some other/new routes around NZ and if you're ever around this way (Rotorua) I'm always keen for a run.
Anyway, I'll kick off with the Eastern Okataina Walkway, ran through to Humphries Bay and back (plus a couple of loop backs to pick up group stragglers). I've run it a few times, great trail, quite technical single track which keeps you focused. Seen deer on it a few times, loads of wallabies and a couple possums. Lake Okataina is very nice as well, keeps pretty cool year round so in summer a dip in it after a run is a good treat for the legs. It's about a half hour drive from Rotorua to the Okataina end.
So, whats a route you've done recently or an all time favourite?
