Party: Anna, Lesley (and Jo for refreshments)
Map:
Distance: Just short of 11 kms
Elevation:
Time: 1 hour 45 mins
Notes: From Remuera, through Newmarket Park, the Domain, and down through the Viaduct and Wyndham Quarter with a view to refreshments at Queenies cafe. This was packed, however, so we (one of us, anyway) maturely retreated to Victoria Park Market and Buttermilk Café for luncheon. Delicious.

Ohakune Old Coach Road - Hapuawhenua Viaduct

Date: 21 September 2013
Party: Anna, Elizabeth, Lesley, Johanna
Map: http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/central-north-island/ruapehu/ohakune-old-coach-road/


Distance: Just over 12 kms
Elevation:


















Time: 2 hours 40 minutes
Notes: Started at the Horopito end, and walked back towards Ohakune. Rained continuously, but like Steve Gurney, we overcame. Later, we found time for mojitos and jigsaws. (Like other talented multisport athletes, we understand the value of cross-training.) Next trip there will be trained baggage handlers on-site to prevent vehicle overloading.
