After we left the park near the river we went on the beach and had a nice walk along it. Though it was quite windy so I was happy to take a break around 5 km before the end of the beach. At the end in Paekakariki I had a nice coffee and food break before attacking the escarpment track. The view up there were really nice but the track was quite rough. Then a boring road walk near the highway followed until Paremata where I was allowed to stay at the place of another TA hiker.
