Mararoa camp
km228 to km256
Weak data so no pictures today 😭
The morning getting out of the Takitimu's was wet, boggy and cold. Made Princhester hut by 10am and the main Rd by lunchtime. Shouted myself a smoothie and sticky bun there.
The wx up to wash Creek where the cache was had warmed up and dried out which I appreciated.
Minor disaster caused by the planning department, not documenting precise location of this cache!
I spent 2 hours on all fours with a wire probe systematically searching a 10m x 4m area of long grass with no joy 😒
Luckily I have a few extra meals with me and with a bit of restraint on the trail mix I figure I'll make Queenstown if I walk straight out the Mt Nicholas road. A shame to have to miss the Mavora and Greenstone leg.
