Not a great night with possums. So another sleep in. Too kind to myself. But today is a short, flat day of ~25km to Havelock. The last resupply before the serious business of the Richmond Rangers.
I called Alex, a hiking buddy of the 2019 season and my mom, so the time flew by. After 15km a snack break and on to the last 10km
Kudos to the local authorities because all the way there was a separate footpath next to the road. And even for a bit, the trail is a similar style to QCT wide and beautiful. The sun was out and nothing could dampen my spirit.
In Havelock, I had acider and way too salty fries. Then, the dreadful resupply for 8/9 days. I think it will take 7 nights and 8 days. But you need to be prepared for bad weather and the inevitable delay that will bring. The forecast is looking good, but you never know for certain in the mountains.
Tonight I sleep at a holiday park with petty people. I understand that it’s annoying if we walk past your caravan. But you can just ask rather than put a rope up.
I went to dinner with two TA hikers. A nice salmon with spinach. Need the healthy stuff before just calorie eating (rather than healthy eating).
I updated my blog and thus now time for bed.
