Haast - Wanaka

Reported by Rathin Boulton 142.0 km

Nature is vast in beautiful Haast!

Jim with a fellow Haast visitor, who is in the area with his students to do a research project on kiwis (the birds).

Jim also took our first run leg in the driving rain! The torch was briefly alight for the first few steps.

"That's a nice boat", muses Jim.

Another gorgeous lake.
