Reefton Wet mountains. The valleys are wet too. Mosquitos and sandflys live in the valleys.
Wasps live on the tops.
The forest is mostly beech, which means that it is in a constant process of decay. The mountains are very steep in places, with 100' cliffs, torrents and waterfalls placed irregularly across otherwise suitable paths. Named Victoria Burn in honour of the late queen. Dark and beechy, with much dampness. Smells pleasantly like rotting beech.
