Then North again to the next beach stop, Mangakuri. Another stunning spot, great little bach, and crowded beach....not!







Next day was onto another big station. This 'short cut' kept us as East as possible, and saved a large road detour inland, and got us up to the more populated beaches East of Hastings/Napier. Again I found a good attitude went a long way in gaining access. Weather closed in, but (it's a long story) actually ended up in giving us a better route, again along the coastal ridge.
