Test Run 2022

 The end of October, and it is time to get the caravan out of the shed and have a few days away at Ohiwa.

Lots of pairs of quail at the camping ground this year.


The most distressing thing to see was the state of the roads. The slip between Opotiki and Ohiwa had closed the road for a few days the week before. Todd and Nola told us that the camping ground was cut off for a short while, and hard to get to for a couple of weeks.


We went for a drive around to the boat ramp - the walking track is a mess - and there were big trees that had slid down banks.

The ground still looks very unstable.



Even the road cone needed some repairs!

Still, there are always beautiful views somewhere.
We even took a dip in the pool!

A good four days away.
