Cycling the Forgotten World Highway Easter Weekend 29 March to 1 April
We set off on Good Friday looking forward to a couple of days cycling along the Forgotten World Highway. This famous, historic road joins two equally significant small country towns: Taumaranui and Stratford along quiet back country (mostly) sealed roads. Kate and John Bocock (a good friend of Graeme and Paula's) offered to provide support crew services following us in 2 cars as we cycled on our adventure.
