Forgotten Highway Warning

[MSTRS:Me]

It's a numbered highway - so NZTA

You don't want to know what it was like to ride in 35+ degrees and NO chip at all...

The exact reason why during summer it's best to get out there before the sun gets too hot. That's until they start to reseal sections in fun parts of the journey...

Doesn't worry me now - I've found a new favourite road that's every bit as good (if not better) and gets less use than SH43.

Tease, just tell me, it'll be our secret

Hmmm, alright then: Turn left at the ugly river and head to where Turi sprained his foot and it became stiff and made him lame (his foot I'm talking about!).

Don't want to make it too obvious - remember there's not a lot of traffic on this road so it would be nice to keep it that way!

If you can't work it out we'll go for a ride there some day soon, Mart. It's been too long since we've done that ayway

Cripes, Mr cryptic I know it well as it happens. The camp-site at the lame place does good cheap Kai. ever done the right turn after the left at the ugly river? quite fancy making a loop of that but I don't know if it be gravel down that way.

Sure does

The best part is, you can take the gravel road in and the long way home if you choose; or not.

Thought you may have ventured that way already. Beautiful part of the country - the journey and the destination!

Not sure about that road, I would say it would be mostly gravel, but I am guessing. Will ask when at the servo out that way next, they're sure to know.

Did Chateau-Plataeu yesterday, the road is fine. Gravel section is hard packed and easy. LOTS of camper vans though.... be careful in the narrow bits.
