Station is to take SH3 through Te Kuiti then turn left onto SH4 signposted for Taumarunui. This intersection is called 8-mile junction. Don\u2019t miss it or you\u2019ll end up in New Plymouth!<\/li>\n<li>Once you reach Taumarunui it will take just over one hour to reach Blue Duck Station (Google will tell you two hours). If you remember, send us an email from Taumarunui so we have your approximate ETA.<\/li>\n<li>From Taumarunui stay on SH4 traveling south until approximately 1km AFTER you reach Owhango (a blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it village with one Cafe). As you travel southbound out of Owhango you will see a sign on your left-hand-side that says \u2018Cycle Trails\u2019 and \u2018Kaitieke\u2019.

Take your time, keep left, and take particular care on corners as there may be a canoe bus or stock trucks traveling in the opposite direction!<\/li>\n<li>You will eventually cross a blue one-way bridge (there are plenty of one-way bridges, but only one that\u2019s blue), then you\u2019ll reach a sign that says \u2018Welcome to Blue Duck Station\u2019 Phew&#8230; you made it! But keep going for another 7kms.<\/li>\n<li>You will cross a purple one-way bridge, then a red one-way bridge.
