Was going to go on the XR, turning off at porangahau and following the beach up but took the ZX10 instead (ZX10 doesn't handle very well on beaches). Its 200 from Masterton to Waipuk, but quite a bit more if you take the longer (unsealed) route. Went to the One Night stand up Route 52, then out to Blackhead, up Long Range Rd and straight to the site. Was someting like 350k without a gas station (by choice of course, I could easily have poped into Waipuk on the way, but wheres the fun in that).

Hahahaha very funny - but the 11km of gravel on the forgotten highway should be enough to give him his fix... ay Eugene? (Sign says 13km, it was only 11)
