On the old forestry Road with gravel we had a barely secure tent. In the night we lost two sides which wasn’t a surprise. Rowan got up both times in the wind and rain, I did the very important inside job of holding the leki poles. Apart from the tent on our faces we slept well. The next day we had some savoury oats for breakfast and packed up slowly. With only a 3km walk ahead it wouldn’t take us long to be at Dome Valley. I aimed for lunchtime as Clare said she could pick us up and I could use the car, then come get her when she finished work. Finally setting off, it only took us a bit over an hour to get there. Clare picked us up and we set headed back to Warkworth. We decided to go straight to Subway in Wellsford. Once we had some lunch we got to her house and enjoyed a hot shower. After unpacking we headed to the local shops where we restocked at the pharmacy & 4 Square. There may or may not have been a Hospice Op Shop that we visited too. I found a practical light bag for toiletries as I have teared through two zip lock bags and Rowan found some jewellery, (You can visualise him walking with pearl earrings). Time flew by and it was time to pick up Clare & Skylar. We had Indian takeaways for dinner and enjoyed being inside Clare’s cosy warm home. We will have a zero day tomorrow, getting a chance to wash our clothes and rest our feet.
