Routeburn

When Meg sets her sight at something she’s fairly determined. But I had 5 hours drive to get to the other end of the route (which is crazy when it’s 32km to Milford from where they started) and plenty of time to worry about twisted ankles. And my daughters capacity to chew up her father and spit him out if things got tense……..

No twisted ankles, no hissy-fits. A perfect father/daughter bonding and a peaceful 5 hours toad trip for mamma. 8hrs 20 mins journey for them including 40mins stopping time.
Milford Sound boat trip planned for next day and Ben Lomond for day after that. Last time Meg and I did Ben Lomond on race day, she was injured, stretchered off and she and I made it home at 3.15am. Hoping for a better result on the Kiwi Ben Lomond at the back of Queenstown.
