It’s not often you see a motorhome these days without a couple of bikes racked to the back.
So, for all those summertime nomads, here’s a nice story from Motorhomes, Caravans and Destinations magazine about riding the Otago trails this summer. It describes a variety of trails to suit all abilities from Queenstown, through Central Otago to Dunedin.
Many of the trails described are either located on, or near, the Central Otago Touring Route, which is perfect for camping and caravanning.
