Tuesday 30 January – Richmond Ranges – done done!

I am having a few days rest in Nelson (my left knee insists!).

I will be back on the trail 3 February – starting the Queen Charlotte Track from Anakiwa. I am booked on the Bluebridge to sail home to Wellington Waitangi Day 6 February.

The stretch from Hackett Hut to Pelorus Bridge will have to wait for another holiday. I have run out of days due to Richmond Ranges taking longer than expected (weather, left knee, right foot!!)
