Hokitika Adventures


Malcolm prepares to leave for his ride...

...into the mountains

through a wild west town...

over rivers...

and beside water races

Heather goes to waterfalls...

Lake Kaniere

...in a rainforest

Hokitika Gorge

The sunny weather disappears
 

Today Malcolm rode in the wild west and I went to Hokitika Gorge which was very picturesque.  I drove around Lake Kaniere after dropping Malcolm off for his ride.  It was also beautiful but a bit spooky driving along a very narrow, very windy, road through bush with no other traffic around.  I was glad to get out of the forest and back onto the seal.  By the time I got to  Hokitika at midday it had clouded over on the coast.  It took Malcolm 3 hrs 40 mins to do the 40 odd kms of trail - he said it was more challenging than the rides we've done lately.
