Marova - out at marova lakes campsite

18km 4hrs

For a change we woke up to rain pitter pattering on the roof. By the time we left it was mostly done but it was still raincoat weather as it was quite cool as well as damp.

The walk out to the campsite was along 4wd tracks that had filled a little with mud and water meaning we had a few detours to get around the worst of it. The biggest danger was slipping.

The landscape was very moody with the low clouds and the low low clouds obscuring different parts of the mountains.

Walking a 4wd track is a funny thing because on the one hand you eat moving quite quickly but on the other hand it seems to take ages. I dunno why that is.

Anyway, it was about lunchtime that Karen wanted to wash the mud from her shoes, and at that point Paul showed up on the beach. He had walked in to meet us. Back at the car he had snacks for us and drove us the the campsite in Lumsden.

If we thought it was cold on the trail or was positively freezing in Lumsden! At least the showers were free and only nominally capped at 10 minutes.Leer más
