Hump Ridge Track, Tuatapere

This <a href='http://www.humpridgetrack.co.nz' target='_blank'>three-day Southland loop walk</a> offers access to spectacular national park scenery and the remnants of what used to be New Zealand's busiest milling town. Once a year, keen hikers take on Stump the Hump - a midnight tramp across the track's 55-kilometre-stretch.

Swing bridges are negotiated in darkness during Stump the Hump, but can be appreciated in daylight during other hikes. Photo / Tuatapere Hump Ridge Track
