It was a sunny morning and the sea was calm. We dragged the kayaks up through the marshland to the road and found the nearest camp ground to set up at. After lunch I headed off back into the park on foot with the goal of running to Awaroa to pick up the car. It had turned into a very nice day. The water was a beautiful blue and the sand an amazing yellow. The track was packed but as I got further into the park the number of people reduced significantly until there was just me in paradise. My legs seemed to be ok. I wasn\u2019t super fast but they seemed fairly happy. I crossed the Awaroa Inlet dead on low tide and got to the car. It was then a two hour drive back to Marahau to see Ari and to make delicious kumara burgers for dinner.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Running-the-Abel-Tasman-Ari-visits-2020-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"644\" height=\"431\" title=\"Running the Abel Tasman (Ari visits 2020)\" style=\"margin: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"Running the Abel Tasman (Ari visits 2020)\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Running-the-Abel-Tasman-Ari-visits-2020_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/A-sunny-day-Ari-visits-2020-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"644\" height=\"369\" title=\"A sunny day (Ari visits 2020)\" style=\"margin: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"A sunny day (Ari visits 2020)\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/A-sunny-day-Ari-visits-2020_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Much-grennery-Ari-visits-2020-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"644\" height=\"431\" title=\"Much grennery (Ari visits 2020)\" style=\"margin: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"Much grennery (Ari visits 2020)\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Much-grennery-Ari-visits-2020_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/View-towards-Onetahuti-Ari-visits-2020-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"324\" height=\"484\" title=\"View towards Onetahuti (Ari visits 2020)\" style=\"display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"View towards Onetahuti (Ari visits 2020)\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/View-towards-Onetahuti-Ari-visits-2020_thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>1) We kayaked out to Marahau and set up camp there.
