Q is for Queen Charlotte Track: tramping day 3, Punga Cove to Portage Resort

Early morning along the Queen Charlotte Sound

Kenepuru Sound

This is the day everyone talks about, day 3, the long day, a day of walking the ridge between the Kerepuru and Queen Charlotte Sounds. Our destination was the Portage Resort.

But we had all day to walk the 25km. It was a magnificent day of walking, as my friend Natalie says, a day when you 'fall into your legs', and you love being on the path.

I had such a day, most probably my best ever one day of walking. Being with Fred, Shawni and Craig in such a beautiful place, with a warm and slightly overcast day, was very special. We took regular breaks, nibbled on all our trail snacks and took in the majesty of it all.

 I loved it.

Day 3 of 4, 52 km of 71km
