• A2O day 5

    14 gennaio, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Last day of the A2O and we expected to be just going through the motions for 60k. However the trail continued to deliver with easy single track snaking along the riverside( and through the irrigation sprayers☔️ !) through the wetlands, to Duntroon( is that a made up more Scottish than Scotland name?) then we started to climb up out of the Waitake valley that we had followed thus far and into a limestone wonderland of bluffs and cliffs, including Maori rock art, Elephant Rocks and Aslan's camp ( apparently) and then through more kiwi than New Zealand rolling countryside . This included railway lines, a tunnel, rolling fields, more irrigation systems and a pub selling pies. But soon we were dropping down into the suburbs of Oamaru, to the hurly-burly of traffic and noise and to the ocean. Alps to Ocean. Done!Leggi altro
