Day 7, Km 160,500


Saturday Feb. 25th.
We go to the Arthur's Pass National Park, for a 2 days hikking trip.
The Pulsar is full of the greatest New-Zealander food and ready to start......unfortunatly, the tank's oil is empty, dry and extra dry... Having avoided this materials problems filling in the oil's tank in the Lincoln's Challenge! petrol station, we start again to new ventures in the New-Zealander mountains.



Km 160,550 : difficult pass of the first saddle. Others will follow, but we will be walking...

Km 160,560 : lovely places

and nice pictures...


Km 160, 600 : We finally arrived at the departure point near the Craigieburn River...

2 days walking 6 hours a day in the Craigieburn area, among the steep dark and eroded mountains

, the old man beard's trees

and the dry but windy saddles...

The way back was as much exiting than the outward journey : unfortunaitly, we were overtaken by a boat arriving from the West Coast, a Pacific bus, a Kiwi Post's truck and a lot of bad cars less designed than our Pulsar...

See you next week...
