Wished Sharn all the best for her northbound section walk. She was a kiwi who had completed the Sth Island.
We also connected with Kat from our home area of Karaka. Sandie had been her babysitter back in time.
Back on the beach walk, once through a forestry section. A high end golf course hidden in the forestry. Beach walking - loving it!
Then up and over a headland. Popular swimming spot. As we topped the headland a horse trekking group of about 25 horses came on through.
The next 10k to Pakiri camp ground was beach walking. Possibly our biggest final beach walk for much of the Te Araroa, certainly for the east coast.
Karl tried walking in bare feet for a few kilometres, but this did his feet no favours. Before long we had to compede a hotspot before it blistered.
Just before Pakiri beach holiday park we crossed a river mid thigh deep. Boots completely saturated, we were thankful we hadn’t been walking all day like this.
