last beach – lacklustre road walk – blackberries and plums – trail angel

durie hill lift – fordell – mystery bag – cop car ride – beaching it to camp

exploring whanganui – kai iwi – bason botanic garden

whanganui river – tossed in the drink – another dead phone – bridge to nowhere – flying fox – slog into wanganui

whakapapaiti and mangahuia tracks – road walk to national park – taumarunui – surprise jet boat ride

tongariro crossing – whakapapa

42nd traverse – waione cokers – river crossing – dead phone

hitching to taupo for the day

safety first – no ostrich – Owhango reunion

sorting myself out for the river and days in between
