Bell Rock Trail 🪨 | Napier’s Windy Wonderland

Tucked between Napier and Gisborne, this quirky hike leads to a bell-shaped summit boulder—totally worth the gusts! (Visited in April 📅) 🥾 Trail Stats Distance: ~8km return Elevation: 352m Difficulty: Moderate (no poles needed, but prepare for cardio!). Terrain: Gentle slopes → final climb (up-down-up) + slight mud (post-Pirongia? Laughable!). 🌪️ Summit Chaos Epic 360° views—"life photo" material! Daredevil move: Climb the leftmost boulder (⚠️ sheer drop below!). Winds: Next-level—pants inflated like bread rolls, hair = Medusa, Live Photos glitched! 📌 Survival Tips Hats? Only with straps Hair? Braid it—unless you want a free wind turbine experience. Weight matters: Skinny folks, hold onto rocks—you might literally take flight! 📸 #BellRockAdventure #NapierHikes #WindyAsHell #NZTrails #HikingDiaries
