We are looking at doing the Abel Tasman track in mid April and would like to know if it is better to do it starting from Marahau or from Wainui. Is the terrain better one way or the other for someone that has two bad knees?
Also the water crossing at Awarowa Estuary according to the info we have should only be crossed a couple of hours either side of low tide, is that right or is that a bit conservative? Can it be crossed at say half tide safely?
Any local knowledge or first hand knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
