Middlemarch to Hyde 34.5 km.
Very pretty trail across lots of bridges which have a timber boarding over the original cast iron rail bridge.

This is the memorial to 21 people who died in a crash on the rail line in 1943 caused when the train got out of control at 120km/hr.
Dinner and stayed at the Otago Central Hotel at Hyde.
The amazing thing about the rail trail is the amazing number of women who run the accomodation and eateries along the way. Ngaire who moved back into the area and bought and renovated the Otago Central Hotel is one of the main forces behind the towns revival since the rail trail began.
Lovely place to eat and stay with the staff and owner adding a special something to the experience.
