Te Araroa 21/11/25

Day 58, Koitiata to Bulls (1465)

A clear, bright, sunny morning which stayed that way until a few clouds bubled up in the evening.

Looking back to Koitiata 
I didn't fancy the beach walk so I found a path between the beach and the forest which worked well until it ran into a swampy bit where I was forced into the forest but soon found another path.
Getting wetter
I rejoined the trail where it comes off the beach and met Rose, Jack and Charlie who had started down the beach while I was eating my breakfast.
Path through the pine forest
Bush lupines everywhere 
A long road walk in the sun from there to Bulls through good grass growing countryside with plenty of cows everywhere.
Dairy Farming 
It was a good days walk but I felt exhausted at the end, not sure if it was the heat or just that I was out of practice after the canoeing and rest day.
Jack, Rose and Charlie on the road again
The town of Bulls has plenty of silly references to the name.



A reasonable campsite but a bit close to the road.
