Day 110 - South Mavora Lake

It rained hard in the night and I woke to find the mountains covered in snow. The snow makes these mountains looks much more dramatic. 

A brisk walk over the high mountain valleys. The snow dusted mountaintops made for a scenic walk. 

A hut I passed had an old wagon wheel spoke as a turnstile.

More tall grasses tussocks here, meaning no trail and getting lost often. 

I reached Mavora Lakes. A scenic small valley. They filmed some Fellowship of the Ring shots here. I intended to camp here for the night but decided to push for another big day. I’ve decided to split the section I’m on into 2 days rather than 3. 

I ended up pitching on south Mavora Lake. The beach was too beautiful for me not to stay here. I sat on the beach watching the sun go down and eating my dinner.
