13.12.2019 Sheep escort to the West Coast via the Arthurs Pass

This morning it was so stormy at Lake Camp that we decided to drive on.

Just a few kilometers towards the highway, we couldn't see the road anymore because of all the sheep. The farmer behind the sheep said, 'just drive through, they'll make way.'

A small sheep escort accompanied us for a while.

We continued from Lake Camp towards Springfield, this place didn't look like the one in the Simpsons but there was a huge donut.

Continuing over the famous Arthurs Pass, past Castle Hill and 'Death Corner' (the bridge in the photo), we arrived in Greymouth in the evening, the first bigger town you pass through coming from Arthurs Pass.

There are some shopping opportunities here and we stayed overnight at Cobden Lagoon, a free camping site by the beach. There was also an opportunity for fishing and we did go fishing - but we got pizza from Domino's :-D
