After an out and back walk I couldnt relly see how far away the race came from but it plain to see how the races follow the countours to effectively
transport the water over long distances. The views!
After a much longer ride than expected I found my way back in Alexandra and so began a backtrack to Cromwell to make my way to Mossburn for the night.As I approached Garston the thought crossed my mind that I could go up the Nevis road to the Ski Club building But I was low on Fuel and did not want to have to manhandle 260 kg of machine and luggage. Short stop for lunch just past Athol and a few item s for dinner. The place I stayed had no cooking facilities at all and in fact there were notices saying $100 fine for cooking. No matter there ws a pub just across the road. Good business model as I think the pub owner also owns the "motel" .Wheels and Reels in Mossburn. Interesting place.A big NPD ,at least 3 cafes and a pub but only about 50 houses.Lots of Milford Sound Traffic passes through.
