Listen to The Country online: Dougie Haynes on walking the length of NZ

  • January 23, 2026

Dougie Haynes:

Walking the length of New Zealand is hard enough, but Mangawhai’s Haynes is going one step further by carrying two sets of golf clubs to raise money for KidsCan.

Haynes, originally from Oxford in England, is a fulltime caddie, plying his trade at Tara Iti and Te Arai Links golf clubs in Mangawhai.

He moved to New Zealand in 2019 and said the inspiration to attempt the 3000 km Te Araroa trail was from seeing other hikers pass through his town.

In late October, he set off with two sets of golf clubs, one on each shoulder.

Today, we find him at the halfway point of Wellington.

Hamish McKay:

McKay On Sport called it early when it came to Razor’s axing.
