Crossing the Makarora River

The 13 members of the Walking Group drove to the Blue Pools car park, (an hour away), and walked from there across the Makarora River, past the Blue Pools and along the track towards the Young River.  We had our lunch by the Blue Pools in the sunshine.  About a 1 k walk back to the cars.  This is a new track for us.  8500 steps, or about 6 k's.  It was a beautiful day walking through the lush NZ bush.  The extras missed the cut.  A wonderful day out with great company.  We stopped for a welcome cuppa on the way home.
