My first roll through the Zenit EM. Mmm those delicious warm wood tones. 

Big ups to the amazing beadwork of my homegirl Andria ‘Xiu Janiki’ Sanchez.

Northern Walkway: Simla to Wadestown

I took the very scenic Johnsonville Line train up to Simla Crescent in Khandallah then began my walk south towards Ngaio, where I was going to follow the Northern Walkway (southbound).

As you pass Ngaio and head towards Crofton Downs, you'll reach the entry to Trelissick Park, where the Northern Walkway becomes slightly more exciting than just the Khandallah Road footpath.

Through the lush Ngaio Gorge, there's a plethora of pathways to choose while you hear the distant trains chugging along the ridgeline above you.

Eventually though, you have to leave the trees and streams behind and head uphill, quite steeply, to reach Wadestown.

Here, at the foot of Hanover Street, where the Northern Walkway emerges from the park, you get an excellent view over the Ngaio Gorge. It also happens to present a great opportunity for trainspotting.
