Taranaki Anniversary weekend trip

We are organising a trip to the Central Plateau for 12-14 March. The basic plan is:

  • cycle the Pukehinau Loop (28km, grade 3, from SH47 along part of 42 Traverse and back out to SH47, including visit to Okupata Caves)





  • cycle the 'new' Old Coach Rd (part of the National Cycleway, 14km descent, grade 2, from Horopito to Ohakune via the spectacular Hapuawhenua viaduct and old tunnel)


  • tramp somewhere (Lake Surprise?), or another ride


  • staying for 3 nights in a ski lodge in Ohakune ($20 per night)


  • activities can be moved around to suit the group and the weather

So there is a bit of biking planned, but alternate tramping activities or sightseeing are available.
Contact Neil & Jacqui Sinclair 06 7510676 by 14th Feb to book a place or suggest alternate activities.
