Day3 (Feb 4th ) -Day 7 (Feb11th) South Coast & the Longwoods Total 133km

The Wildlife sure is variable around here!

My first Te Araroa signs!!!


Heading to Colac Bay

A great variety of signage!

The old water race.......
Nice to start with day walks and even to have company - Lloyd Esler, Ruth Dudfield & her brother Lloyd Blaikie.
Local knowledge & insights a real treat & fresh milk, cream & homemade butter from Ruth's cow were extra special (& no! this is not the cow!)












































Ruth & husband Allen & brother Lloyd did a magic job ferrying me around all the back forestry roads to access the Longwoods.
Scariest moment to date was deep loud "barking" in the dark damp woods of the water-race when i was walking alone. I didn't know deer barked. Just knew it was a large unidentified animal! Certainly added to my pace which was a hidden bonus!
