Remutaka Rail tRail

Trying to get more information on the state of the track but there is a slip at Corner Creek which may jeopardise these plans :'(

Letting off some steam over the last weekend of the mid tri break! (Fri/sat/sun). This is a great first bike packing trip but well worth doing even if you're used to harder stuff or even re-doing it. Taking two nights instead of one to make it a more accesible and social trip!

Overview @ https://www.nzcycletrail.com/find-your-ride/22-great-rides/remutaka-cycle-trail 

Will be camping both nights and can use club tents, you don't have to have your own bike but hiring is on the more pricey side. You want to pack a lot less/lighter for bike packing than for tramping but within reason aye. 

Driving out to Turakirae head on the friday night after leaving someones car at the Waterloo train station. Biking out to corner creek campsite for the first night then up the west side of lake Wairarapa to the east end of the Remutaka rail trail for the second nights camp. The last day will involve doing the actual rail trail section and biking as far down the hutt valley as we can be bothered then shuttling the drivers back out to their cars at Turakirae head. 

May change to doing the trip in a clockwise direction if the wind forcast makes that the better op. 

Cost will be splitting the price of 2x communal dinners and petrol.
