Cats eyes are still there.
I dont think we can do too much about them.
Or just dont cut the corners.
Easier said than done though.

Couldn't see no cats eye's when we went through on Saturday last in the car at Paekakariki . Drove through about 3ft of water thought car was going to stop ,had a bowwave over the bonnet stopped at Pram to pull all the branches etc out of the Radiator . They closed the road after we went through , 8hr wait from then till it reopened :crazy: .

I hope they've done something about that diesel spill that was all the way up the road line from Battle Hill to the summit the other night. It was a bit unnerving seeing it there exactly where you wanted the bike to be on every corner...

Piekok and Piecock and even Paekak, as used colloquially by some posters, refer to the Paekakariki Hill Road, that starts at Paekakariki (strangely enough), winds up to the summit lookout with its spectacular views, before winding down a craggy valley to Pauatahanui. It is also reknown as "The Goat Track of Death", given its unforgiving propensity to take toll of careless and inattentive riders. Bloody good ride all the same!
