The day began with the 300 km marker behind them and a hilly start — the ground was hilly for about 14 km, then roughly 5 km of rolling terrain — and drizzle came through between 13:00 and 14:00. André kept going and reached camp at 16:31, having covered 18.2 km from where they set out.
Terrain defined the day: sustained up-and-down walking for the first section, easing into rolling ground for the last few kilometres before the finish. The longest stop was 10 minutes mid-route; otherwise the day moved steadily forward.
They ended the day at camp on the Waikare to Ngunguru section. Ngunguru is 26 km further on; that place will be 312 km into a 3,048 km trail, and it waits as the next waypoint.
