CHASING THE END OF THE RAINBOW

Saturday 7th March

Day 7 - St Arnuard to Lake Tennyson

After a hearty breakfast & fond farewells to our wonderful hosts we headed down the Rainbow towards Hanmer & Lake Tennyson.
The 1st hour flew by in a blur of gravity assisted asphalt & beech forest.


Both us enjoyed having someone else to talk to to pass the time, we continued to make good time & the scenery the entire way was beautiful - such a contrast to the Molesworth.
With about 30km to go to Lake Tennyson & Island Saddle to conquer Andy decide to leave the 3 of us to bike ahead & pick up the car which was at the top of Jacks pass - drive back & pick up Andrea at Lake Tennyson.
We arrived at Lake Tennyson & set up camp - had cup of soups & waited for Andrea's ride to come along.








After waving goodbye to our day companions we cooked dinner & settled in for the night .

Technical Riding details missing as brains are still a little fuzzy from night before...
