Long but easier day ahead - first along the St James Walkway, past Christopher Hut, and rather than the now marked route, we stayed on the main Walkway for a few kms more, then headed across country to the corner of the Ada and Waiau valleys, before joining the main south to north track at a signposted junction.
A long but mostly fast track up the wide valley, with fine weather, but conscious of damper conditions not that much further to the west. Reached the dumpy little Carline Biv late afternoon - a place to stop and camp, but definitely not stay in the biv. There was talk of complaining to DOC about how the river (our water supply) is now across the other side of the valley .... A friendly robin trying to explore my tent.
A well marked track, now not requiring any full crossings of the Waiau River - thanks DOC.
