Day 38, Te Kuti to Mangaokewa (926)
A beautiful morning again and it was very hard to get away from the campsite. Much time was spent talking to the hosts and a couple who were staying for the day before we eventually got away.

| Trying to leave the Trail Angels |
After the walk back to the town the trail went up beside the Mangaokewa river through bush paths, farmland and bush bashing where the recent floods had washed out the riverbank path.
 |
| Lots of water in the Mangaokewa river |
It was a beautiful walk but slower than expected mainly due to diversions, especially when we had to go through steep trackless bush.
 |
| Through the bush by the river |
There was still a lot of water coming down the river and it would have been decidedly unhealthy to fall in.
 |
| Negotiating the river |
There were some massive Eucalyptus Trees and a number of Sequoias along the riverbank as well.
 |
| The campsite |
We eventually arrived at an excellent campsite in time to get the tents up and dry before the sun vanished behind the hills.

| Interested spectators |
It was nice to get horizontal.
