Sandie transferred us back to the Waipapa Dam to resume our walk to Mangakino. Some of this 18km segment was cycle trail but most was road walking due to forestry closing part of the trail for excavation work. I think cyclone Gabrielle caused some grief.
We reached Mangakino in under 4 hours and met Sandie at the library. Time down at the pontoon for more lake swimming!
By 6pm we began the trail walk from Mangakino to Whakamaru. It ended up taking longer than we expected and totalled 11.5k. So, hello darkness our old friend. Nice to finally reach the motorhome and stay over at the Whakamaru Freedom camping reserve.
