It was back
to the wet coast today, I reckon it would be drier if I was swimming. The West Coast Wilderness Trail continued to
impress between Hokitika and Ross. I did a Golf Course, Old timber workings, a
swamp, more forest and a nice long gravel road.
The ride started okay with a little drizzle but started to become more persistent
when coming in towards Ross. After Ross it was wet wet all the way down to the
bottom Mt Hercules. I was soaked. But surprise! Whataroa has turned on the sunshine
for our stay overnight. Weather looking good for tomorrow. 110Km today then
will do 130Km tomorrow.
