Day 82, Black Rock to Davies Bay campsite (1808)
A bright dry morning allowed me to get everything packed away dry for an early start.

| A very small flat space |
 |
| Morning view |
The Queen Charlotte Track continued on its good path over the hill, round a spur and down to Torea Bay Saddle.
 |
| Good path |
It was a steep climb and the sun was getting hotter so I was happy to reach a shady bench near the top.
 |
| Kenepuru Sound, a different colour. |
The views again today were impressive, Queen Charlotte Sound on one side and Kenepuru Sound on the other.
Down again to Te Mahia saddle, I was tempted here because there were signs pointing down the hill on both sides to coffee shops.
 |
| Just spectacular |
I decided that it wasn't worth the detour so continued on up the other side and round the hill and headland past a couple of viewpoints and down to Davies Bay where there is a reasonable size campsite.
 |
| Great path |
Only three of us here tonight, Christian from Germany, Bill from the USA and myself. It clouded over and with the increased wind it felt almost cold.
 |
| Amazing place |
Went to bed early.
