Day 7, Middlemarch to Daisybank campsite, 39km

Mum and I drove from Dunedin to Middlemarch and set off for a nice short ride along the rail trail to the campsite on the banks of the Taieri River. It's nice, you can't get there except by bike or walking.

The night was rather cold, with mum wearing all her clothes inside the sleeping bag, and in the middle of the night she woke up and covered herself with a blue tarpaulin for extra warmth inside the tent.

Thankyou so much mother for coming with me, and for being the taxi and support! Love ya.
