In our last rest over town of Cochrane  I enjoyed some domestic bliss of raspberry jam making, relish making (doesn´t seem to exist in Chile or Argentina), bike pogie making (over gloves to wear on the bike which allow me to be wearing bike gloves underneath and cut the wind) and we managed to fill the bad weather day.

Under clearing skies we followed the Rio Baker to it´s meeting place with the sea. Was a fantastic journey through the massive valley and made me think of travelling an oversize Milford Track by bicycle.

Carrier broke for the second time – a crack one in one of the vertical struts – string time again and I was able to ride the ripio with confidence
