A hike is when you go for a long walk in a forest, woods, or the wild. The track that Mr Chen supposedly followed is called the Tupapakurua Falls Track. The track is better for more experienced hikers because the conditions be muddy and or slippery following rain. Before you even think about walking out into the wild you have to be well equipped encase of any change of weather or you stumble of track and get lost. You will need to be wearing warm clothing, you can wear layers in case it gets hotter or colder. You can never go wrong with an extra jacket, bring a bag so it’s easier to walk about. Wear sturdy comfortable boots or shoes, food and water because you never know how long your hike will take. Also you could bring glasses, sunscreen, and a first aid kit is a must.
The walk will take about 4 to 5 hours, and 11 km return from Fishers Road parking area. To be safe, tell a friend or family member when and where you will be going, and when you should be back. To be extra careful check the weather forecast the night before you leave and the morning you go on your adventure. Also do not take shortcuts if not on map you may think, ‘That way would be shorter, and a time saver’. At the end of the day your safety means more than some shortcut that might end up you being lost, or severely injured.

Fantastic Danielle, you have written a well formed explanation including all of the parts, definition, description, operations and special features regarding safety at the end. After researching this walk, do you think you would like to do it? I think it sounds beautiful, but would be hard work!
