Day 10 - Rail Trail: Hyde to Ranfurly

Otago Rail Trail. Hyde to Ranfurly - 32.5km.


2 tunnels and lots of bridges.

Tunnels are very long, requiring torches and one curved in the middle which was a fun experience to ride through!



Plenty of picnic spots next to the river and amazing views of plentiful trout in the Taieri river.  Beautiful weather.  The track is still up hill as it has been from the beginning.



All this activity resulted in a tiny amount of overnight rain but it was clear again the next day.  Either we were very lucky with the weather or Otago’s weather is perfect for outdoor activities.
