Sorry nonrunners, this is another post for the people interested in running destinations. This week we went to Dolamore Park, about 10k from Gore. It is a lovely park that includes a campground, arboretum, and several walks (the kiwi word for hiking trail). This is the only substantial forest left near Gore. It was set aside as a reserve in 1895, and these walks are not for wimps. We have learned that when the sign says "1.5 hours return," expect short but steep. This did not disappoint.

R's favorite part of marked paths--the signs.
You HAVE to stop running to read the signs. |

| We found a connector trail between two walks. |

Viewpoint from the second trail. No pictures were taken during the climb;
it was hard work (sore legs from rotten track workouts!) |
