St James Conservation Area – Day 3 – Edwards Valley Track

Not the best start of the day, all cloudy and nippy

But when east driving on the Edwards Valley Track there is some blue sky to be seen

Luckily not much oncoming traffic, except for a few horses just before

It’s really cool to be able to go these places where I would not have been able to go without a 4WD

Inside Scotties Camp Hut, hiding from the sandflies outside

Scotties Camp Hut again and the road towards Charlie’s Saddle, where we will park the car and go for a hike

We’re on our hike here, the views are great

View towards the Waiau Uwha river, yesterday we were in the same valley just quite a bit further north of here

Very bright sunlight in my eyes

Next time I’ll drive the Jimny down here, for some camping

Big smile

This is as far as we can go along this part of the St James Cycle Trail, there used to be a bridge right here but something happened to it and it’s no longer there

Almost back at the car

A litle video of today
