After
having done a big long walk yesterday, planned to walk just 6km today. It was because
rain with gail forecasted from this arvo to the evening and wanted to avoid
camping tonight. So have a short walk to Manuka hut, the only hut on my way.
Did not need to get up early today, but woke early in the morning. Got up at
6:30. Had breaky being relaxed watching dawn and sunrise out from the windows. Fine weather at the beginning of the day gradually broke: dark clouds started
to develop and wind got stronger.
Rob left at 9:00 and I left at 9:30 after
cleaning the hut. Followed a nice and easy 4WD track. With fair northwest wind
on my back all the way, arrived at Manuka hut before 11:00.
Collecting
firewoods around the hut and drinking water from a river... got myself ready to
stay in this hut before the rain comes. Had a relaxed day reading a book and
doing yoga, totally being different from yesterday. There was by myself tonight
in the hut. Rain did not start till 20:30 and became steady shortly. Went to bed
at 22:00. Walked 1.5 hours, 6km.
今日は午後から夜にかけて強風で雨になるとの予報で、テント博を避けるとすると一つ隣の山小屋マヌカ小屋しかないので、初めから今日はそこまでの6kmのみの移動と決めていた（その分昨日頑張った）。
全く早起きの必要はなかったのだが、早くから目が覚めてしまい6:30には起床。外で明けゆく空や朝焼けを眺めながらゆっくり朝食を摂る。その時点ではまだ晴れていたものの、その後真っ黒な雲が湧き出てきて風も強まってきた。
ロブは9:00頃出て行き、自分も小屋の清掃後9:30に出発。道は歩きやすい平坦な四輪駆動車道路。追い風の北西風を背に受け、のんびり歩いたにもかかわらず11:00前にはマヌカ小屋に着いてしまった。
薪を拾ったり、飲み水を川から充分に汲んだりと、雨が降り出す前に一夜を明かす準備を整え、後は山小屋で読書やヨガをしたりして、昨日とは対照的な寛いだ一日を過ごした。他には誰もやって来ず、雨も結局20:30頃まで降り出さなかったが、その後本降りに。22:00就寝。本日の歩行1.5時間、6km。
