Misty day here in Dinsdale. All loaded up and ready for the big OE to the South island.

The plan so far. Leave here about 9 head south on state highway 3 to Kihikihi, then turn and head towards Mangakino. Turn onto SH 30 to the Pureora Forest where there is a DOC camp. There is a new John key Bike trail there to try out plus I will need a couple of days to sort out mods from tied to shore power to freedom camping. From there it is of to Taumaruni then National Park,Ohakune, the Army museum at Waiouru, taihape ( my old stamping grounds from my Army time) then on to Vinegar Hill. I will update this most days ,hopefully with photos. Happy trails
