Day 4 - Lake Ohau to Lake Benmore
55 km, 7.0 hrs
Don't let the short distance fool you! The section from Lake Ohau begins with a fairly steep climb, which is one of the reasons we pushed hard to get there the day before, rather than overnighting in Twizel and trying to do two sections on this day. It took us about two hours to reach the high point (11 km, 350 m elevation gain) and from there it was mostly downhill for the rest of the day. We restocked some supplies at the supermarket in Omarama before continuing on another 8 km to the Lake Benmore holiday park.
