New Zealand 46 Poor Beast

 My pack essentially held my clothes and the daily supply of drinking water. My camera equipment was in a separate pack I carried on my front. Matt carried everything else, poor beast. So we set off around noon, eager to get on the track. At first it was a pretty easy walk but it didn't take long for the weight of the packs to make what should have been easy not quite so. We stopped for lunch at a beautiful beach spot, secluded except for a few kayakers and day walkers.
