Thought with all the interest lately in these 2 roads, to keep weather updates etc on one thread....:yes:
Molesworth. Easy road, no permit, no toll, approx 210 km service station Hanmer to service station Blenheim. Open till somewhere in February, weather depending. Ring DOC
Rainbow. Bit more demanding, more Scenic. St. Arnaud service station to Hanmer service station 120 kms. $10 toll for bike, $20 for car.
Open till second week march. Ring Doc.
went through last week.Dry and easy fording Rainbow.
Went through Yesterday, and had rain the day before and a bit yesterday.
Fords had become noticably wetter, still easy to ford, but would give you wet ankles if misjudged.
So keep an eye on the weather if you plan the trip....
If you can only do 1 of the 2, The Rainbow is the nicer one,
St Arnoud a lovely liitle town to visit with Petrol , accomodation and a General store.
