i am looking for very easy instructions.
and oh did I say safe? And easy?

I am really looking at the easiest possible way.

The route I provided is all of what you ask...Its fun-ish after Pearoa..through to Katikati.
Other than that, its easy and direct.

Yeah thats one, Waipu/Waihi I had the first 3 letters right and realistically the last 2 don't really matter as no one wants to visit either lol.

Not quite true but it is definitely the better way to ride or drive

Just got home from an overnight in Rotorua, the main road from Hamilton is a really nice ride - maybe a little bit straight for some but if you havent been through the Fitzgerald Glade (on SH5) on a bike you're SOOOOO missing out!!!

Wow, that's all I have to say!

Early 80's...Fitzgerald Glade...1am..I was chasing three sheep on foot while my then boss was herding them with his 351 Ford..
Yes I was pissed and didnt get a sheep...looking back, fuck knows what I was going to do with it if I caught one..
And no...shagging it was not an option....

The last thing I remember ...there was a massive blaze of lights coupled with a thunderous noise entering the Glade from behind me..

Turned to look and ran like fuck!
I dived into the trees just in time as this fully laden Kenworth logging truck went by...
