Highlight:


Pushing on to A Frame hut in the cool of the day.The well formed track made for some easy km's and still enough day light to pitch the tent without  needing our head torches.

Challenge:


Slow going river travel. Trent counted 45 crossing over this 7km Hakatere River section.

Learning:

Sunblock > rain pantsWe should of packed more sunscreen. The bottle we have is a different brand to our last one, and we ran through it at a much quicker rate.
