Charlie Knight is an adventurer, mountain leader, outdoor instructor and ultra-marathon runner who has worked and travelled all around the world.

Charlie recently completed a 3000-kilometre solo trek across the length of New Zealand on the Te Araroa Trail. Walking through rugged mountain landscapes, sandy beaches, muddy forests and remote villages, Charlie’s four-month expedition from north to south was one of his most challenging and rewarding adventures to date.

With pictures and stories from the trail, Charlie recounts his physical and mental journey across one of the most beautiful countries on the planet.
