National Park YHA – Zero
Showers till mid morning, it cleared a while early afternoon and as I headed to the lookout it closed in again. No view of Ruapehu yet.

FORECAST:
“WATCHES NO LONGER IN FORCE Heavy rain watch lifted for: North Taranaki, Taumarunui and Waitomo: Rain has eased and the Watch is lifted.” Yayy
A leisurely morning followed by a walk up behind the YHA that starts on Fishers Track.
I explored the artifacts at Macrocarpa Cafe and enjoyed meeting staff and locals.
Old camp stove Early conservation sign
Returned to do laundry and prepare for leaving tomorrow. Packaged up a parcel for courier to Whanganui.
A seat outside the ski hire Climbing wall at YHA
The forecast is looking at a clearer path ahead.
