That road is fucked, and even more so after last weeks weather. Correct, you'll also spot that that's the biggest day, and that there's flexibility built into the route. Depending on road conditions will dictate exactly how that pans out on the next 5 months. 1 hour ago, Mof said: Is molesworth no good? Votes have tallied Rainbow as the preferred route home on Day 3 this year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted September 10, 2022 Author Share Posted September 10, 2022 Also worth noting that Day 2's route will be largely dependent on the road conditions. Saw a thing somewhere on line today saying the road to French pass, and kenepuru rd are fubar'd atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are irreparable/only open to residents by that stage, we also have reverse Maungatapu (from Maitai to Pelorus), -> Queen Charlotte Drive up our sleeves too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner I know, the faster I can put it on our kitch calender, the more likely wife is to let me out of the house. I'm thirsty for activities after the break.
