Hi there
Can anyone advise me if the road that I have marked on the attached maps are seal or gravel?
I have put 3 boxes along the maps and I have drawn a red line next to the road we want to travel, however my map is a little out of date

We want to know if road/sports bike can tag along on this section of the trip?

Thanks in advance :yes:

I am pretty sure the second one at least as gravel, can only remember one sealed road into kawhia (and it's a great one)

Just a couple of short pieces of gravel on SH22,500m at most each.It's seal to Bridal Veil Falls,and then gravel to Kawhia,and a rough road at that.The part you have marked on the falls side has a slip and is closed.....but I did a thread a while back showing how I got around by going through a farm and making a couple of stream crossings.You will have to go around the Aotea Harbour coast road....it's marked as the main route to Kawhia anyway....and there are road closed and detour signs.I'd take a sports bike,but it wouldn't be a lot of fun.
