The Longest Walk
The Rapsey Family used the route Te Araroa, which means “The Long Pathway”. The Rapsey family started at Cape Reinga then finished at Bluff, the areas they passed through were Te Oneroa-a-Tohe on the 2nd day of their walk, Te Oneroa is a Ninety Mile Beach and has 88 kilometres of sand. Next they reached Tamaki Makaurau which is a major city in the north island of New Zealand. They then visited the Blue Lake, The Blue Lake has one of the clearest freshwater in the world even if the bottom of the lake is 70 metres deep, you can still see the bottom. The Rapsey Family stayed at Tramping Huts and houses. I think The Rapsey family is the first family who did the record breaking walk from Cape Reinga to Bluff.
