Losing a Great Walk booking to lockdown

From Lately, 10:35 pm on 26 October 2021

You may remember how difficult it is to get tickets to do any of the great walks - They sold out in about five minutes as Kiwis flocked to enjoy their own backyard.

Aucklander, Richard Wagener, his wife Jenny and their four kids booked to do the Milford Track in December.

But the chances of that happening with Auckland still in level three lockdown are getting slimmer by the day.

Before Richard cancels the booking, he's hoping to get DOC to consider a way he can hold onto his hard won booking and maybe do the tramp next year on the same dates.
