Slow & steady!

We started rather late and it took us a while to get all our shoes and gear on after the stream crossing. The pace was rather slow a lot of roots that are great at twisting your ankle if you’re not paying attention. Rowan took on most of the weight today which made my life a lot easier. It was just really slow going a lot of up and downs and trees that had fallen. 3km of just arduous track, the last 2km were easy in comparison. We are staying at a trail angels house tonight which is great. We have set up the tent and had a cold wash under the garden hose. Rowan is now cooking dinner, we have a good routine and division of labour. Yesterday was incredibly hard for both of us and today was easier in comparison. Looking forward to Mt Tamahunga climb tomorrow. Think of us while you drink your coffee
