Day 17 - Waipu to Mangawhai Heads

Glenise and Larry had been fantastic hosts.
Glenise is the deputy principal at Waipu School. She has completed many tramps (great walks status) over the years, including the Milford Track twice. Larry had cycled the length of NZ back in time. He now had an ebike which he really enjoys using. It was inspiring to hear their stories of the great outdoors.
Waipu is a lovely settlement with all its Scottish heritage on display throughout the town.
We talked with a couple outside Four Square while scoffing some ready made breakfast.aka steak and cheese pie!
The trail out of town was in parts a dedicated cycle trail which made for easier and safer walking.
By days end we had clocked up another 30k and arrived at the Mangawhai Heads campground by 5pm.
