Te Araroa 30 - Drury to Mercer

 

41.8km today. It was planned to be less but a river was too deep to cross so we had to hike 3km to bridge and back. 6km nearly broke me. So annoying. But got to pub and had a real meal and booked a real bed for the night. I think I deserve it after nearly 42km.   




Location:-

Muddy Waters Irish Pub, Mercer

Te Araroa 35 - Whatawhata to Karamu Homestead

  19km today. Best day yet. 10/10. It was awesome. Problem when you’re the first to leave, you have all the wet dew on the grass so your fee...
