Perambulators at Ohakune

We are arranging a weekend trip to Ohakune, under Noel's expert guidance, from Friday 26 May to Sunday 28 May.  We need to gauge interest now to enable us to look at accommodation options so we can try to get us all into 1 place.

 

Why May?

May is late Autumn and weather does tend to be settled??

It avoids the onset of spring which can still have lingering winter conditions.

 

Draft Itinerary;

 

Friday 26 May - assemble in Ohakune - short walk in pm - Waitonga Falls - start 11km up Mountain Road - approx 2 hour walk to the falls

Dinner at local restaurant.

 

Saturday 27 May - Kune Shuttle- Ohakune to Horopito departing 27 Goldfinch Street @ 9:00am ($15). Walk 15km - approx 4 hours 30 minutes back to Ohakune

Dinner at local restaurant

 

Sunday 28 - there are a number of other shorter walks around Ohakune and Raetihi (interesting old town) in the am for those returning to Wellington.

 

Ski season will not have started (if it ever does) so accommodation should be OK.
