Cumulative Km 993
After a few days of rest and a physio appointment my groin was much better.
The next section was due to be the Motatapu Track- a very exposed, ridgeline track. So I checked the weather and saw that half way and last day the area was due to be hit with big rain and wind. That would make it even more dangerous and thus I made another plan.
I took the bus to Arrowtown, did the walk to Macetown via 4WD track and did the return the next day.
I wanted to see Macetown as it has remnants of the old gold mining town that was here in the late 1800s.
The track is pretty good with plenty of river crossings- 22 apparently- though I didn’t count them myself.
