The group split, with most opting to move on to somewhere up the Monowai Road.

The stayers were
treated to moody views across Lake Manapouri in the evening, on their way to
the pub for a delicious meal.
Next day there was
a howling nor' wester, blowing about 40km/h.
Fortunately, we were heading south east. All agreed it was the easiest
ride they had had for a long time - 50km downhill with that lovely tail wind!!
There was a little shelter at the Clifden Bridge at lunchtime.
