New Zealand 24.02.24 with Ralph Moore, Kevin Gove and George Kerse.
We camped the night at Poolburn Reservoir and George Kerse showed up seemingly out of nowhere. The 23rd is my birthday and he kindly bought me a bottle of wine and a packet of biscuits! And a six-pack of hoppy IPA’s. I aaa delighted as we had been unable to get any booze - the shop we planned on using for that was closed when we arrived and there was nowhere else to buy any. Thank heavens for George!!
The day dawned beautifully but before we had even packed up the weather changed dramatically and we had fierce winds and a bit of rain. What the boys call a nor’easter. Kevin’s tent went cartwheeling by me as I was struggling with mine; thankfully George was coming back from the loo and managed to catch the thing otherwise we would have been pulling it out of the lake.
We managed to get away without getting a soaking but Kevin Gove fell off just near our camp spot.
We rode all day, stopping for lunch in Cromwell, and in the evening we arrived at a holiday park in Alexandra where we will be renting a little unit for 3 nights. Always great to have a proper bed after a few nights under canvas.
