Ride with Cris and Em from 12mile. Phoenix - 7 mile - gold digger - moke lake - Ben Lomond Saddle - awesome tracks down the mountain - bike park - Pie.

Chris claimed this is the best ride in NZ. It was pretty awesome. Really enjoyed the golddigger climb and the last 1/3 of the climb up to the Saddle. Legs still feeling a bit tired from the tramp I think.

Maybe about 4hrs of riding with lots of relaxing.

Quick ride with Cris and Chris in QT. Managed to keep up with the guys pretty well although Chris said he was feeling very tired.

A beautiful morning paddle to Alabaster Hut down the Pyke and across lake Alabaster. The single boat seemed to go much better on the lake when there was no wind and I was able to keep up fine.

Walk out from Alabaster hut. Ate the very last scraps of peanut butter and cracker at Hidden Falls hut meaning the total food I had left at the end was 6 tea bags. Not bad.

Big Bay to the Pyke for the second time.

An easy paddle down the Pyke to Olivine hut for the earliest stop for the trip (before 6!). The sun was out again and things were looking up.

Gorge River to Big Bay. Much nicer section of coast today with less horrible cannonball boulders, more house boulders.

From Barn Bay to Gorge River. Ferry across two the Hope and Gorge using the packraft which were up with all the rain last night.
