Te Araroa, Day 73

Jan. 16, 2023, Camp Bay to Mistletoe Bay, 31,1 km, km 1666,72, 10:50 hrs

 

Today the sun comes out and the many stunning views look even better. Walking is hard today although we are on a "real trail", that is well maintained.. There are many steep up and downs. Long ones and short ones, accumulating to almost 1200m ascent and the sun is burning relentlessly.
I started at  6:38 am and arrive at the campsite at about 5:30 pm.

At the tent site, there are many of those Weka birds. They can't fly; they are just running around, looking for interesting stuff. I chased after one that had grabbed my polycro ground sheet and was just disappearing with it under a fence. I managed to grab it at the last moment. Those birds are quite cheeky.
