On the countdown.......Sitting in the sunshine here in Hastings and feels a bit unreal that this time next week I will be walking Ninety Mile Beach. Reading the other blogs of people this morning and can see that the starting beach walk from Cape Reinga is certainly going to be a long, sandy, tiring start to the trail, so am feeling that sitting here soaking up the sunshine is probably a 'make the most of it while you can' moment.
Am heading back to Wellington tonight to do the final fine tuning on the gear and enjoy my own bed for a few days before flying to Kaitaia on Wednesday 21st Oct. Will stay overnight there and pick up supplies before getting a lift to a camping spot on Spirits Bay and stay the night on that Thursday before walking on Friday 23rd. Not long to go now.......
