Slow retreat back towards Westport.

At least it was another fine day for our retreat back over what I believe is known as the Karamea Bluff. After a bit of last minute shopping at the Karamea 4Sq store we were off. Part way up the first hill climb we were being followed by a large 4 axle truck towing a 4 axle trailer. Not wishing to hold up a working man I pulled over at the first opportunity to let him pass with a thank you Honk Honk on his air horns.

Old dumped cars acting as a stop bank on a river bend. Seddonville has a flooding problem.Old dumped cars acting as a stop bank on a river bend. Seddonville has a flooding problem.

It wasn’t long before we were back at the Seddonville Hotel where Lorraine,the landlady, told us what the arrangements are for tomorrows Dawn Parade. Later we walked down to where the event will take place to get an idea of timing for the morning. It looks like an early night tonight with the alarm clock set for 5am.
