Testament Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Testament If I go that way is it well sign posted as to where I am going???? I like the idea of long flat roads in the VW But I also don't want to get lost some how and add an extra hour to the trip Not that well but it's not too hard, basically you turn right at the roundabout in matamata and go down the main street keep going until another round about about 1km down with a blue petrol station (can't remember if gull or Mobil). Turn left on to tower rd at the round about then follow tour nose to te aroha keeping the kaimais on your right. I think you just go straight until you come to the end of that road and turn right. When you get to te aroha you sort of do a zig zag and go over the river turn left onto the main st. Then about 10ish km north out of te aroha you turn left over a bridge probably a sign that says morrinsville or awaiti. Over the bridge then take the first right on to awaiti rd at the end of that you turn left (continue straight) on sh2 for about 2km/a couple of straights then on a left hand bend there will be a sign saying coromandel and a turninf bay thing so you turn right to continue straight and take that and goto to the end of that rd. Comes out just before the bridge at kopu turn right over the bridge and follow the signs for tairua.Easy as pie. Basically drive along parallel to the kaimais worst case you end up going through paeroa which is about the same distance just curvier 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Testament Posted March 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2015 ms paint on phone seemed too hard but i think this will do once you are on the road to tairua just follow that north until you get to coroglen pub (its immediately after a one way bridge) and turn left up that road there I think then somewhere up there 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAD Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 New exhaust getting its final welding as we speak, longest I've driven the Starlet with new carbs is 20mins to the workshop. 8 hour drive to Coro from the Wairarapa ahead of me today, am I doing this Nats thing correctly? Anyone leaving LNI this afternoon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Those AA Road Atlases rock. I have the hardcover version with the native birds, trees and shit, and also the soft cover version with (now horribly outdated) street maps of major (and some minor) centres in the back. Always remember that the travel time charts therein are calculated as being driving time only for those who travel at about 70 km/h on the open road or are using a low powered car (they were published when the limit was 80).
