Te Araroa – Day 46

Bushcamp to Bushcamp

28.7 miles

Mile 1318.2

While putting on my shoes I noticed the tear had doubled in size since I’d looked at it last. With over 100 mile to go until my next town, I had to hope for the best.

I spent the morning winding my way through a forest still damp from the night of rain.

When I reached Lake Sumner the trail left the trees in favor of grassland.

Upon crossing a suspension bridge I entered the forest once again, passing two huts without stopping.

A few hours later I was back in flat grassland where the going was easy.

This was sorta creepy…

I spent the afternoon ascending towards Harper Pass.

The views from the top were rad, but the scramble down was not.

Just before dusk I found some flat grass to call home for the night.

Cheers!
