Lake Arapuni, Waikato River. NZ
Start 9:00 am
Private campsite organised at the Ski Club. Access via 821 Arapuni Road. Then down the track past the cow shed. There’ll be some flags setup to show the way. There’s toilets & showers.
Stunning HOT weather 26degrees, sunburnt brown as, great weekend. 2 days of bliss on the lake. And I broke a few bits. Also seagulls dont like to much compression.
The day turned out very warm at 26 deg plus created some sunburnt faces. A leisurely chug up & down the lake to visit both dams. Many nice beaches & places to stop for cups of tea & lunch. The south-western reaches of the lake are host to an acre of wild black-berrys, ripe for the picking. The day ended with ‘Chilli-dog’ hosting a sunset BBQ of delicious pork chops. Arapuni is yet another beautiful lake of the Waikato river.
