Today, Simon and I with two other friends, tried out the new extension of The Tukituki Trail. We started from Waipawa and rode the existing trail to Waipukurau. From there we hopped onto the new extension on the northern side of the Tukituki River. The surface is still new and soft. The weather was glorious, and the hills and fields were bathed in sunlight and fresh, green, spring growth. The new extension continues past a carpark and picnic spot beside Lindsay Bush Reserve (where we ate our picnic lunch) and then onto the end, where there is a short walk to the Lindsay Water Tunnel. Distance approx. 32 kms.
