Send us a textThe Blissful Hiker "sidles" the steep sides of a riverbank in the Mangaokewa Reserve and learns how "un-lonely being lonely can be." In this episode: Blissful leaves Waitomo for Te Kuiti through slippery farmland, getting lost in fields of sheep poo and confusing orange triangle-shaped trail signs.The reserve begins as a Hobbit Forest in a sun shower, but soon becomes greasy sidling along the Mangaokewa Stream.All alone at the "cool campsite," she muses on when she first started thru-hiking, she was too afraid to even close her eyes. It's more sidling on the way back to farmland, where trail angels rescue her for an afternoon on a working farm. MUSIC: Soliloquy by Bernard Rogers and Night Music by Antal Dorati as played by Alison Young, flute.available on iTunesSupport the show
