Thames, mines walkway

5.4 km

Ok I’m ready! This time, my bike will have a rest. I’m going to walk in the forest for minimum two hours. I have my lamp, my knife, water, waterproof clothes and motivation. Let’s go :-)

This track looks easier than I thought so far. I could take my bike!

Ok, I’m now in the real track and definitely, it’s impossible to ride here (at least for me :-). There is many holes like this along the path. I guess those are mine entrances. It is a bit frightening. I will not try to enter in any one of them, that’s for sure.

That’s a real forest :-)

Climbing

I’m not far from the top I think.

We might be able to see Auckland with a clearer weather. Might be!

Could have been a better shot lol but we still see everything ;-)

The South West view.

The way down

On my way down, I can see Thames.

No particular thing to see but I like the lighting in that picture :-)

I’m getting closer which means I’m not lost :-)

The track is very steep here. I slipped once.

Back to the camp

That was a good walk. After almost 80km cycling, I walked 5km in the forest. That’s enough for today! I’m gonna sleep very well I think.

The kitchen of the camp. This campsite has almost the same atmosphere of the one in Kerikeri I think. Many things are kinda  broken but the place feels cauzy :-).

    OMO OMO OMO!! OH MY GOD!!
    When I see your pictures, I think you are totally crazy!!
    Are you doing a remake of LOST (TV series)??
    It seems like that when I see picture of you lost in the forest… If I were you, I would be scared >_<'
    At least, I guess you don't lack motivation: that's great!
    In your last mail, the last sentence you wrote comforted me and made me smile :)
    So I just wanna tell you, I support you and be strong!
    Miss U ^^
