Lake Unknown
Adventure Magazine|June - July 2019

There are some trips you venture out on, where you’re rewarded with grandeur and magic from a place that is simply surreal. Much of the great exploring has been done but we all find our own ways of finding a way to reimburse adventure; I certainly think we all NEED it whatever shape or form it may be in. Personally, the biggest appeal is finding a place that really is ‘off the radar’ and you can count on being away from all civilisation. My recent trip to Lake Unknown was just as the title says, a place where no track lay, no human evidence found and a piece of the world that represents grandeur and magic in nature.

Originally planning on a full 7 day circuit, our plans soon diminished when we saw the forecast for the next week, a bout of bad weather hitting right in the middle of our ‘wouldbe’ trip. We opted to break it down into 2 smaller trips instead, the second would be our climb to lake unknown. We began our trip at the Routeburn shelter, the Glenorchy end for one of NZ’s 9 great walks; The Routeburn Track. We would follow this track for 1km before turning off to head up-and-over the Sugarloaf pass, a wet and muddy 600metre climb through beech forest before breaking out onto the boggy tussock tops.

North West Circuit Stewart Island

I found myself in limbo during the winter of 2020, in between jobs in a strained covid economy. And so, I did what any outdoors person would do with a large amount of free time on their hands. It was time to pack up my belongings and hit the road. It was time to leave behind home comforts and go adventure-seeking.

The wind and snow is whipping at my face. I’ve readjusted the stiff frozen fleece buff around my neck and mouth, desperately trying to protect myself from the -20 degree bitter wind. Adrenaline is still pumping through my body but I know I’ll start to get cold soon.
