West Coast caper

The race was on… well sort of…ish. We hit the servo at Wanaka to fill up and grab a medicinal pie then set off towards Lake Hawea and over the Haast Pass arriving just before 9.00pm. I rang the Hard Antler Pub and they said they were closing the kitchen, so a quick phone order and Neil and I dashed down to the pub for a beer and a feed – which was just awesome. I hadn’t been to the Hard Antler for more than six months, since the Barn Bay trip, and it was great to be back and we were made very welcome.

Plan ‘A’ was to do the south coast on Monday, but we toured Macetown instead, so we had lost a day off the plan, but gained a great day out. Most of the crew had watched my video on Youtube: Kevz110 on our trip to Barn Bay and the Jackson River six months earlier and were keen to see as much of it as possible
