Te Araroa 31 - Mercer to Huntly

 

43km today. The next logical stop. Tough day but overall fun. Started with a boggy section to get to the river. Wet feet all day. Then walking the dike beside the river. They build a dike 100meters from the river in the floodplain so the rest of the land is usable as farm land, even if the river overflows. The dike went through a golf course which was nice. Had dinner in town before getting to campsite. Taking a zero day tomorrow.
