Arthur's Pass and time passing too quickly

24 February

Campsite beach before setting off for the mountains
Conscious that we were still on the northern tip of South Island and that time was tickin' on we put in a longish driving day of some 500km to get from Abel Tasman to just outside Arthur's Pass where we're planning a mountain day ... The driving was OK but some of the roads were so twisting with ascents and descents through passes and valleys that progress was slow.

We finally camped just west of Arthur's Pass in a superb campsite ... Quiet, great views, and facilities like no other I have encountered. Brilliant. Just out the back of the site a trail ran through the bush to a beautiful waterfall ...

    Hiya, I have just found another set of photo's from the glacier, they look fantastic but there's not a lot of sympathy for it being too hot. The road down to the camp site sounded like Hardnott pass it is at times like that fear of physics cuts in, " can the van really defy the laws of gravity" . Glad you arrived safely.
