Posted: So in about 3 weeks Ill be heading over to NZ for an extended vacation and self enlightening voyage. I have few plans during the 3 months, however I’ve been contemplating trying to walk the 90 mile beach that I’ve heard about.
Any recommendations for this? I see that there are these DOC Huts that are scattered about my travels. Are the beaches safe for sleeping on (I’ve seen nothing stating either way).
Last and most importantly, what are the odds of me finding a few other fire heads on that walk, and if so where might the X on the map say to look during the evening? I love enjoying my hobbies with others.

Posted: Beaches safe for sleeping on? Well, there are no dangerous animals/snakes/dingos etc in NZ that would make it dangerous.. and nasty humans are completely unpredictable... could be in the city, could be somewhere remote. Overall though as Lemming says, things like tides and cold are likely to be more of a problem than peeps... For the record, we were hitching near Cape Reinga (this is a few years ago) and got picked up in a huge burble car by a bunch of Black Power gang dudes. There was no-one else around and we felt definitely nervous cos that gang was notorious for stabbings and other nasties in Auckland. We ended up going to a beach bbq with them and their cuzzie-bros and had a ball! NZ is great. People were great. Scenery was great Enjoy!

Posted: Ya the tides is my biggest concern, there is no such thing for a few thousand miles from where I live. The cold is no problem.
Getting stabbed would suck but thats a risk taken every day in a city and life.
Ill watch my back, though Im a hard a$$ my self

It took a while, but once their numbers dropped from 50 down to 8, the other dwarves started to suspect Hungry.
