Today started rather early waking up at 5.30 am and was ready to roll by 7.30am,the morning weather did look a bit groomy and a little shower,but soon the sky open up with some welcoming sunshine,the terrain was mostly downhill as i recorded 71kmh and quickly i arrived in Taihape at 9 am, went to the New World Supermarket shopping and later spent another 3 hr in the library to recharge all my gadgets, bought an extra usb charger for 15nzd so that i can charge 2 gadgets at one go to reduce waiting time,while waiting,i consumed my pack lunch. There is a railway line running parallel to the road,nevertheless there were 3 tough climbs to struggle while the train went thru' the tunnels. My targeted campsite was at the Rangatikei River,just turning off to SH54 before Hunterville. This campsite technically not free as there is a sigh of 6nzd for adults,only facility is a clean toilet but no one is coming for the fee.
