We have planned to take an alternative route to the Te Araroa. This incorporates the Waikato River trails that extend to Whakamaru and beyond. We will branch off at Whakamaru and take the Western side of Lake Taupo to re-meet the Te Araroa at the Tongariro Crossing.
Many have said how late in the season we are and so to close this gap we need to use our ‘smarts’.
A rest day at home and we were ready to resume Thursday 1 Feb.
The Te Awa River Ride cycleway continues south from Hamilton to Maungatautari Rd (just south of Karapiro Dam). What a fantastic asset! So well made! The boardwalks are broad with grippy mesh to help prevent slipping.
After 30k we reached the township of Cambridge. ‘Town of Trees’.
Sandie once again collected us to spend a second night at home.
