They set out and found the ground almost flat for the first 2 km, then about 4 km of rolling terrain; the longest stop was ten minutes from 14:31, and they reached camp at 15:21 after 6.5 km on the day.
It stayed dry and was mostly partly cloudy while they moved; the day’s pattern — an easy opening then steadier undulations — defined the pace and kept things straightforward.
Camp closed the day down; this put André 136 km into a 3,048 km trail, and next comes Mangakaretu to Kerikeri as the route’s next section.
