NZ Part 2. In early December 2005 I hiked the Routeburn Track, one of New Zealand's "Great Walks". During the 3-day trip I stayed in two different huts run by the Department of Conservation.
A swingbridge across a chasm. Anchored at both ends, this is just wide enough for one person. It's called a swingbridge because it does! There's no reinforcement to prevent swaying, so the whole thing starts to swing (quite a lot) from side to side as you walk. I found that I could crank up or down the amount of swinging by timing my steps.
