we were in bed by 1am but up and out the house at 9.30 to meet up with our chums at mahurangi beach as is our annual custom
unfortunately it was chucking it down with rain so we had to do a rain check until later in the week
we decided to go on a bit of a driving adventure anyway so we had coffee in puhoi
then we drove over to the other coast down a dirt track and then over to muriwai on another dirt track
the beach track we found allowed you to drive on to the beach. which we didn’t do as we don’t have a 4×4
instead we followed the tracks of someone who was walking their dog
which was fine until we went in to a pine forest which was covered in trackless pine needles
then we’ve been watching some tv and later the plan is to play some board games
