Came here to say this! Looking out over the Manukau Heads. 10/10 would recommend

It is a fantastic spot, on a calm day. Very exposed on a bad day

I meant NZ in general, but that specific location looks pretty sweet too! 😄

100's of kilometers of everything other than flat!

Amazingly lucky to have such wilderness so close to the biggest city in the country.

As long as you like stairs, they’re great!

East coast of Taiwan looks just like this. So interesting.

This is my dream trail-running destination. Someday I’ll travel to NZ and run every trail I can.

There is nothing out there, all there is is sea, and birds, and fish.

I swear you can enjoy almost that same exact thing in Monterey Bay, but, what’s the weather there? It would be like 14C in Monterey.

10c in the depths of winter. Nudging 30c in summer, steamy humid if you're really lucky...

Similar terrain to Monterey, except covered in rain forest here. And a UV rating that's cranked to the max.
