Len and I headed off from the end of the Mangorei Rd after a quick talk to our nephew who was gathering fire wood; we thought it was much better to go for a walk than pick up a chainsaw.
The track in the first instance had a lot of 4 wheeled motorbike tyre marks on it and we thought what vandals making so much mess of the newly laid plastic honey combed matt as this has been lifted in places. But we had to revise our opinion when it became clear that the DOC workers had used this method of transport to get the workers on the job as quickly as they could. The wooden rafts now extend all the way to the Pouakai Hut with the only exception of 100 meters around the Plymouth track junction.
What a good day exploring the area. We have found a camp site around Graylings Clearing and plenty of Dacylantus, however the rock we were originally looking for still alludes us.
We started the track up to Photographic Peak but with the cloudy weather decided to go to the Hut for lunch and come back another day when the sky was clear. Next trip to be scheduled.
Home in plenty of time for a cuppa and cookie!
