COROMANDEL LIFE
LATE SUMMER / EASTER 2017
Most beautiful valley ever!
the original photographs were taken and text written by Brando, which he graciously let
us share in this article. see more on his website, fB page and other social media.
www.wildboyadventures.comi was so amazed by my Pinnacles experience
that i decided to write this. i say this
because i am no writer. sure i have my own
book (
Wildboy
) but i wouldn’t call myself a
writer. i am an adventurer who’s sharing my
adventures with you. i want to inspire and
spark new ideas and tell you to live your
dreams!
so all up, the Pinnacles have really blown
me away with their beautiful diversity and
their accessibility. two-and-a-half hours from
auckland, and you can be getting deep into
the coromandel forest Park, making your
way up the Kauaeranga Valley to the start of
the Pinnacles hike.
You will be treated to some of the most
beautiful views in the north island. You will
feel like you can do anything after climbing
up to the jagged raw summit of the Pinnacles
in the coromandel, new Zealand.
What are you waiting for?
Get up there!
On the way out i walked the Billy goat
track. it is steep and slippery, but the views
you get are so amazing.
i walked with 3 tourists; they were good
company. that day was epic. Massive
waterfalls huge canyons and relics of the
past. we followed a river down until it
dropped into the most beautiful valley i have
ever seen...cascading waterfalls everywhere.
we all stripped off and went for a swim. it
was fantastic. the rest of the walk out was
amazing, too, following the logging lines cut into
the mountain. they used to haul logs on tracks.
when i got to the bottom of the track, i put my
gear back in my car and headed off on the
next adventure.
