Birchwood zero day
Today is hot, cumulus clouds are drifting past, horses are seeking shady trees to hang under. Not a day to be slogging across open farmland so perfect for washing clothes, showering, charging gadgets, fattening up and generally being lazy.
Mt Linton station opens tomorrow and there should be no more human engineered bottlenecks to affect my journey northward after this.
No one else has arrived here yet due to the lambing closures south of here so I have a 12 bed shared accomodation hut all to myself.
