Day 39, Mangaokewa to Ngaherenga (964)
A good night's sleep and there wasn't too much condensation in the morning for another day's walking in the sunny intervals
 |
| Evening clouds |
The route for the day continues up beside the river to its source, this time on a gravel road before meeting the main road, N30.
 |
| On the road again |
We found a Terry's Chocolate Orange on the road in perfect condition and after wondering how it got there and when, we ate it. Not roadkill but close.
 |
| Still following the river |
It was a long steady climb up the track to the watershed but with no traffic it was a good walk.
 |
| Interest on the way |
It was a long day but the good company, when I could keep up with them, and the scenery made the long distance today go relatively easily.
 |
| Abatoir by the road |
The campsite at Ngaherenga is very basic, lots of space but no facilities other than a long drop toilet and a water tap.
 |
| Sheep country |
There were other TA walkers there as well as people biking the Timber Trail but best of all Peter, Ruby's father who had brought my new shoes.
 |
| But a long road |
The real reason for Peter being there was to ride the Timber Trail with Ruby over the next two days.
 |
| Campsite |
The Kaka birds were quite noisy but didn't stop me from going to sleep.
