Captains Creek to Pelorus Bridge

January 15 21.5 km 6 hours

A pleasant walk on a sunny day out to the end of the track on Maungatapu Rd, and then a short walk along the road before Hazel and the van arrived with a Fresh Food Feast - what more can a tramper want after over a week on dehy food and muesli bars ! For Dennis (who is not doing TA ... yet) this was the well deserved end of his tramping for now. For me a more hurried eat up, dumping of pack in the van, and then off down the road to Pelorus Bridge. The absolute Joy of walking with no pack made the 13km a real breeze, so arrived at the Bridge soon enough to admire the view of the sparkling waters below - unlike the brown in flood river when I walked to
here last April from the Queen Charlotte Track.

Now I have completed TA from Cape Reinga to the St James Walkway, so time for a day off tomorrow to reprovision and get on the trail again.
