Day 41, Taumarunui to Owhango (1094)
Another misty morning that soon cleared to a bright sunny day.
 |
| Starting off |
A cup of coffee at Taumarunui canoe hire went down well while we waited for the tents to dry and then we were off.
 |
| Lovely morning |
All road walking today although most of it was on a good gravel road with almost no traffic.
 |
| What a beautiful morning |
It was a great walk with lots to look at including cows, calves, horses, ponies and an ostrich!
 |
| Wrong camera settings! |
A number of derelict farms were interspersed with recent very smart buildings in some beautiful countryside as we climbed up to the watershed.
 |
| The countryside is spectacular |
The slight descent the other side was through more intensively farmed land before reaching the state highway at Owhango.
 |
| Abandoned farm building |
 |
| Camping behind the old hotel |
There is a very run down hotel at Owhango but they allow camping round the back, there was also an old cabin with electricity, a shower and kitchen that we were allowed to use for a donation.
 |
| In the cabin |
There were bunks as well so we decided to use them and avoid wet tents in the morning.
Owen didn't appear at the campsite.
