Anakiwa to Nelson (via Havelock)
Day 44: Anakiwa to Havelock (21km)
Today we left the Queen Charlotte area and headed along the Link Pathway to Havelock. The path is in part alongside the road but then heads up in to the bush, providing a lovely view looking down the sounds and then over Havelock town.

Once in Havelock we phoned DOC who confirmed what we feared - it would not be a good idea for us to walk the Pelorus River Track and/or the tracks in the Mt Richmond Forest Park with the weather watch that is currently forecast.
So, instead of buying food for up to ten days worth of tramping, we booked an Intercity bus to Nelson to stay with a friend of ours, Bevan, until the weather clears.
