masterton to some where

after getting up and packing up i head in to town to have a look around before going to the train Station to get the train to featherston- just for some think diffit also so I could get to the rimutaka incline and Fell Engine Museum before they close for the day. haveing some fun the the train staff over my bike and trailer i get it on the train ok in featherston I have a look around town before going to the rimutaka incline and Fell Engine Museum for a few hours having a good look around and getting some good photos of the fell engine. it is well with the cost of $5 to get in if you are ging to be walking or riding over the incline . Leaving town I head out to cross creek about 10-12 km away. at the turn off to the incline I head up a drit road untill the end of the road where the walkway/bike trail starts the first 2 km is on a narrow trail just wide enough for the bike trailer with the odd bit of pushing the bike in a few places before getting to the site of cross creek (an old train town that was taking down in the 1950s when the old train route was close when the new tunnel was open. The old rimutaka incline was in use for about 70 years. at cross creek I set up my tent up for the night and have a good walk around the site getting some nice photos before going to bed for the night
