Winner: Rosie Perez walked the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, stopping for this neat photo at the 12km mark (featured image)

Jess Mckay walked the Pouakai Circuit. “Poor weather made for some not-so-good views and muddy track conditions but it was still fun  – more so in hindsight!”

Leanne Robertson walked the Spur Track to Dog Stream Waterfall in Hanmer.

#microchallenge20: Have a seat

Partner prize: Bridgedale Midweight Merino Performance Fit socks

Winner: On a walk from Whitianga to Cooks Beach, Elizabeth Mayo found this swing seat on which to adventurously take in the view.

On a wet and drizzly Dunedin day, Jamie McEwan took the opportunity to sit on the Toby Morrison memorial seat.

“It was quite a climb onto this seat,” said Rebecca Jago. Nevertheless she earns herself a badge for doing so.
