The Warmshower host Bob did not come back home yesterday,so I left his place without saying goodbye and thank you. Same way as I came,unload my panniers and carried my bike over the locked gate.Arrived in Muchison for the 2nd time and bought some groceries in 4 Square Supermarket. Nice cooling morning ride until the turn off to SH63 to Picton via St Arnaud and Blenheim as continue straight will be to Nelson which I had already ridden before. Route 63 is lesser traffic and the road is somewhat narrower than the main road of SH6,the climb is very gradual and long,makes riding a little dull and boring. It started to rain a little a few km from St Arnaud and there is the Teetotal Campsite came in handy but for a price of 8 nzd, the 1st time I am paying a camping fee. Tomorrow hope to get to a backpackers in Blenheim for some updates on my blog.

Back to Muchison town for the 2nd time

Going straight to Nelson is already covered ,so this time turning right to St Arnaud

Road became narrow with rock cliff
