Martin and I are just back from four nights camping at the Schischka campground at Wenderholm Regional Park. It's one of six Auckland Council campgrounds we know of that are accessible by public transport and/or foot and bike; to get to this one we bus to town, bus to Silverdale and bus to Waiwera, then it's a 30-40 min walk (mostly through bush) to the campsite. It's about 3 hours door to door, and for a lot of that we were on the top deck of a double decker bus :-)
Neither of us took many photos - we were mostly just enjoying a very peaceful quiet week to mark the start of our six month Sabbatical - but below are a few pictures from the trip.
There was hardly anyone in the campsite so we were able to take up heaps of space. We've recently bought a second pair of adjustable poles for the tarp. The Schischka campsite doesn't have any picnic tables or substantial trees, so the extra poles were very helpful in enabling us to make a nice cool resting space for the hot afternoons.
