Harpers pass - out at morrison footbrige

14 km 5 hrs sunny as!

A gorgeous day walking down the river flats. Lots of river crossings in the braided river bed, but most were pretty shallow. I had woken up with a scratchy throat, so I was not as keen to dunk myself as I usually am. If I was, it might have been a much longer walk!

We were pushing through gorse for a bit and disturbed some baby weka that look like they had just fledged. They were lounging around on the path stretching, not too concerned about us at all. Finally moving off when we got right up to them.

The last part of the trail was all in the rocky river bed which was a bit tough on the feet. Especially as they had been wet all day.

Coming across Morrisons footbridge, which we had been chasing like it was a mirage for about 30 minutes, we found that Paul had cooked us up some hamburgers in the camper which just hit the spot so well!

We headed down to arthurs pass townshop in the vehicles to camp between the road and the railway.Leggi altro
