Too much to cover on one page! Still Taumaranui tonight. After Te Kuiti we were supposed to do 40km road walking to the Pureroa Forest to do part of the Timber Trail which is an 85km mountain bike trail on an old Timber Logging Trail. Our generous friend Tokowha took 4 of us out to the start of the trail. Wayno and I decided to do the whole Timber Trail instead of turning off to follow the TA Trail and we have had a great time. The trail is very easy to mountain bike but we walked it. Along the way there are amazing bridges and stops with all the history of the trail. I would recommend this trail to everyone. It is not a technical mountain bike. The only thing to be careful of is that it climbs to 958m so gets quite cold.
Our son Sean came and joined us for a day from Waiouru. It was lovely to see him. And he even brought food!
We are now in Taumaranui and about to start the TA Trail part where we walk the 42nd Traverse tomorrow which should take us a couple of days then the Tongariro Crossing after that.
