Timber Trail Lodge - Pureora Forest
Got to ride part of the Timber Trail New Zealand in the Pureora Forest and rode across the Maramataha Bridge which is 141m in length and 60m above the stream.
Was awesome to get off grid and stay at the Timber Trail Lodge. It is seriously such an amazing facility considering the location. I will definitely head back at some stage and do the full trail with an overnight stay here again.
Thanks to Epic Cycle Adventures for providing the bikes.

my editing is still a work in progress , when you attempt this track please be aware there are no signs and a long gravel road, on the way is the great 1 hour Rimu walk with lots of huge trees and the Centre of the North Island, The summit walk does no longer exist , travel safe, have respect for the place and have human company . on a fine day you can overlook the waikato to national park, this video is from Winter 2019 #BreakTheChainNow
The Timber Trail, Central North Island, New Zealand
Located in the heart of the North Island, Pureora Forest Park is a mix of virgin, regenerating and exotic forest hosting such unexpected scenes as ancient trees crowding out a timber-miller’s tractor abandoned in the bush. Traversing this deep wilderness is an 87-kilometre trail revealing not only awe-inspiring beauty but also stories of how this special place has changed over the ages.

Waihaha Track, Pureora Forest Park (May, 2017)
Late in autumn, a few days before the beginning of winter, I, along with my sister and some friends, took an overnight tramp through Pureora Forest Park, a 78,000-hectare (190,000-acre) protected area in the North Island of New Zealand.
We stayed in the Waihaha Hut. It was a little icy the next morning after our overnight stay, but decided to take a short dip in a nearby stream. On the way in, I found lots of cool fungi. On the way out, we got a glimpse of the Mountains Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu on the way back, and I spotted some North Island Robin birds.
This temperate rain forest is recognised as one of the finest rain forests in the world. In 1946 Pureora Forest was one of the last native forests to be opened up for logging. Established in 1978, after a series of protests and tree sittings, the park is one of the largest intact tracts of native forest in the North Island and has high conservation value due to the variety of plant life and animal habitats available.
