Long day in the saddle to Milton

As forecasted, rain comes in during the night but lets us by morning. Cloudy skies aren’t going to dry our tent so pack up as we have a long day ahead on the Clutha trail. Services are minimal so need to do a 50+ mile day to get to a campground and be able to get to Dunedin the next day. Cruise along the river until Beaumont and then into the hills. The sun makes a few appearances. A hill and a tunnel before our lunch stop in Lawrence. Treated to a large herd of alpacas! 2 more hills and tunnels and we are done the hard stuff. Wind picks up but we make it - rather late into Milton. Steak dinner to replenish our iron supplies.もっと詳しく
