TA day 21: Hokitika to Harihari

TA day 21 - Hokitika to Harihari from Robert and Marianne on Vimeo.

The first half of today's ride was on  the West Coast Wilderness Trail. That trail is so awesome! It is the trail that just keeps on giving spectacular scenery at every turn!

For my good friend, Douggie!!

The trail takes you through beautiful forest, a converted tramline that had thick lush forest and a piwakawaka haven, and onto an old rail trail through to Ross.

They have a sense of humour down these parts!

Sadly after following the Wilderness Trail for about 130km the TA route veers off south, and the second half of the ride was on very straight roads to Harihari. Harihari is a very small place, with a store and pub. The pub has backpacker rooms and a bar with good old fashioned pub kai 😋
