January 17 29.5 km 8.25 hrs approx
Picked up again at the start of the St James Walkway near the Lewis Pass summit so as to rejoin the Te Araroa trail where I have left off a couple of weeks before when Willi, Rob and I had headed north up the Waiau valley. Lovely sunny day, and quiet on the walkway, meeting only 2 other people during the day. As usual the sandflies made the evening more energetic than planned, but nevertheless it was a great open place to camp with enough dry Canterbury mountains all around.
Easy walking on a very pleasant St James Walkway, so able to cover quite a bit of ground, after a later start than usual because of the drive from my day off in Murchison.
A lovely clear night - the stars were absolutely brilliant
