Day 18, Waipu Cove to Mangawhai (472k)
Another bright day, at times a little too hot in the sun but there were a few clouds about which helped.

I left before anyone else and walked on my own all day, firstly back down the road a bit to rejoin the trail then up a winding road towards the hills.
 |
| More views |
The road became gravel up to some exclusive sites for sale overlooking Bream Bay, very expensive I'm sure and probably rather windy at times.
 |
| Becoming a nice steep path |
The trail then changes to a gravel road followed by a hill path as it climbs up to a beautiful little campsite at Waorahi.

Onwards via tracks, paths and bits of road until the Mangawhai cliff path around the headland with more spectacular views.

Into Mangawhai Heads which has the same holiday home feel to it as a lot of the places along the coast here.

| Looking back to Mangawhai Head |
There is a good campsite here but it was a bit too early to stop so I decided to walk on to the Riverside campsite south of Mangawhai.
