Day 3 and the climbing continues, this time on the Molesworth Trail in 'BIG COUNTRY'. We woke up at Blairich campsite after a late night arrival, however, the morning was clear, sunny, and a great chance to dry out the tents and camping gear. The first day of the Molesworth tested every one to new limits. I had one busted sole of my riding shoe causing all sorts of pressure point sores and everyone was pretty broken. The views however were incredible! This truly is big country, a part of NZ I had never experienced until now.
