Day 19: Big Hill track

Highlight:

Walking up the Arrow River was beautiful. You can see why the South Island has the name Te Waipounamu with its clear rivers sparkling green.

Challenge:

Steep switchbacks following the more demanding section of the river, we took a snack break. The feat now was similar to a Mt Taupiri adventure with the Steingrimssons. 150m up, 4km, 2 hours of daylight. The pace didn't have to be fast, just steady I opted to carry small baby and take care. Trent reported to be carring Bjorn.

Learning:

Te reo of the day:

Masetown, small once was a minning town.
