Distance: 9km
Elevation: From below sea level to 70m
Time: 2 hours 45
Notes: We started at Lynfield Cove Reserve, after following the dizzying instructions of the GPS lady (can they really not get her to say Ave, or Rd? All that technology and she still speaks Latin?) We set off up, then down, then up, then up a bit more then down. I would be lying if I said I knew where, exactly, we went. Anna fell over. She was covered in mud, and whacked her vertebra on the way down. We snapchatted this to Elizabeth, home in bed with the 'flu, who no doubt appreciated that she was home safe in bed and not being subjected to the upness and the downness and the slippery mud. We walked across a lot of slippery beach too. We decided mud had a profound effect on the real estate on this harbour, as opposed to that Other One. There were crunchy oyster shells to walk on and a mysterious house in Cape Horn with its own sign, but no sign of life. The best part was the huhu grub which should have its own show:
