Well today is Tuesday and since I left Napier I have covered 165kms in 2 days . That's around a 100 miles so maybe not as far as I had hoped, but not too bad. Started from Judith and Jonathans house yesterday morning and as predicted by me, it was raining ! Didn't last long but it was showery all day, wet gear on and off. Found a lovely Domain camp on outskirts of Norsewood. Only me there, great. Rained during the night and set off again in wet gear. Day improved as I cycled south . Had morning tea in Dannivirke and lunch in Woodville. Tonight I am in a lovely quiet campsite, a couple of Maori women in a huge trailor ( caravan ) . And a young couple from Ambleside in England. Small world eh ? Lovely evening now , the sun is out and.hopefully it will be a drier day tomorrow. Off to cook tea now.
Forgot to say I visited the Tui brewery HQ on route today. Very kind people, even had a sample. I still prefer Monteiths though!

Hey Dad, sounds like you've made a great start.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the girls swimming in the Mangatainoka River as you rode past, according to the TV ads they like to take a dip in there on a hot day.
Keep up the good cycling,
Dan
Hi Dad, great start! Trust you to find a drinking spot on route!!
ReplyDeleteHello John, it sounds as if it's all going really well. We think about you often, especially during weather forecasts on the TV when there always seems to be a cloud and raindrops over where you are! You've made a great start AND you've managed to write your blog, well done! Judith
