Parking Quandry

Hokitika Wings was full last night so we headed to Woodstock Domain POP just a few minutes drive inland. It was teaming with rain so we were very happy to arrive and settle in with 2 motorhomes 1 caravan and about 8 small self contained vehicles. Toilet, bins and water provided. $5 p.p. Parking was outside the fence on the road verge so a bit strange but a very quiet road so ok. Drove into Hokitika to ride more of the West Coast Wilderness Trail this morning. Hokitika to Stunning Lake Kaniere (pronounced Canary) A large part of this ride is through gorgeous bush alongside a water race. It is a spectacular piece of track and I wish I could have taken more photos to share with you. Getting back to the motorhome which we had parked just outside of town, we moved on to Greymouth intending to stay at the freedom camping space recommended by the Wrights. We were parked with ramps in place making us nice and level, I had made myself comfortable in the sun with a cold drink and snack when Roger announced he thought we might move 🤔 He had been talking to 2 gentlemen who knew the cycle trail we were intending to do tomorrow .The suggestion was we move to Kumara (back about 20mins the way we'd come) Community Reserve POP and ride from there. So here we are and only $5 per van
It's much nicer with a big sealed car park toilets and a nice green field to look at. Very quiet too. So you have a photo montages of the cycle trail then a walk down the main street of Kumara picking up some freebies on the way back. Ps. Gosh it's a bit of an epistle tonight folks 😂Read more
