New Plymouth & Ohakune -Two Mountains, Labour Weekend 21-23 October
This year’s overnight run has been planned for Labour Weekend, with a tour into the central North Island, overnighting in New Plymouth and Ohakune.
Auckland Club is gathering at BP Service Centre Drury on Saturday 21st @ 8:45 am for 9:00 am departure. We will be travelling down to Otorohanga for lunch at the Thirsty Weta Cafe and to meet up there with the Midlands Club. Then, down to New Plymouth for an overnight stay at the Devon Hotel.
On the Sunday morning we will leave the Devon Hotel earlyish at 9:00 am and squeeze in a visit to The Hillsborough Holden Museum for an hour, before heading off on a great drive right around the coast to Whanganui – stopping there for lunch, before turning north and up the famous Parapara’s (SH4) to Ohakune, where we will be spending the night at the Powderhorn Chateau.
