Two tough climbs and followed by two lovely descents before arriving at a big town Nelson at noon in time for my packed lunch.There is a lovely cycle path into Nelson town,which I did not stop as my targeted destination for today is another 30km in Wakefield. After Nelson,it is all the way flat terrain riding under a hot sun,and the scenery is rather dull on a busy SH6,most of the traffic were using this highway as a detour due to the recent earthquake over the eastern side in Kaikoura. Bought some groceries in Wakefield 4 Square Supermarket before riding to Edward Baigent Forest Reserve camp.Beautiful grassy campsite with a little clear stream flowing and a long drop toilet.
