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.

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...
