Te Araroa 16/10/25

Day 22, Dome Cafe to Reminger Road (541)

A bright sunny start but it turned showery in the middle of the day clearing in the evening.

Ready to leave Dome Cafe 
Camping at the Dome was good but it was close to the National 1 road by a bend on a hill and the noise of the trucks all night made it difficult to sleep.
Safely across the N1
After safely crossing the road in the morning we all headed up the hill for the climb up to the Streamlands Swamp road, an interesting name for what was a fairly ordinary road / trail over the hill.
Up the hill
Nothing very exciting today but some good forest tracks and, surprisingly, some good views.
Some good views 
Trees

At one point myself and Charlie missed a turning and went an extra kilometer before we realized and turned back. All good training for the South Island.
I blamed the pig for distracting me
Another view
The campsite at Reminger Road was very good with a nice shelter for cooking and a long drop toilet.
The road goes ever on
