Longer Then I Wanted

Day 49 I left the girls in the morning and head out for a long day of 13h05m. The land from Waitomo to Te Kuiti would have been enough for a day but I want to get to where Frida my friend can join me for enjoyable tramping. The second half down Mangaokewa Stream which is closed for logging is taking longer then I would like. The second half of it is covered in blackberry and other nasties and I have myself bleeding a lot. My emotions are running high out of being tired and this boo isn't long enough to explain it all. What a start to the year.
