S-K TraverseThis long route is a historical trampers route traversing the length of the Mighty Tararua from Putara in the north to Kaitoke in the south. Once, this was a 2-4 day tramp that is now being completed in under 24 hours. 

The route is similar (some say not as hard) as the UK's Bob Graham Round. There have been 13 successful sub-24 hour club members. Could you be the 14th?
