Is it still able to be ridden by Motorbikes? Legally etc? Has anyone been over it lately?

From http://www.nationalpark.co.nz/home/c...fishers-track-

Work on completing Fisher’s Track to create a high-quality multi-use recreational track should be done by the end of April, says Ruapehu mayor Sue Morris.Mrs Morris said that Fisher’s Track will form a key part of the Ruapehu Whanganui Trails – Nga Ara Tuhono (connected pathways) cycleway project that will link the hub of National Park Village and its tourism services to the leg of the cycle trail through Retaruke to the Kaiwhakauka Track in the Whanganui National Park.“By developing Fisher’s Track to appeal to the broadest number of potential users we are maximising the economic opportunities available to communities along the trail,” she said.“Fisher’s Track will provide a high quality experience for riders and, when completed, will run for 5.2km from the Tupapakura Falls car park through to Kura Rd in Upper Retaruke.”“The track will be 2.5m wide and meet the requirements of a Grade 2 cycleway which means it is described as an ‘easy ride’ over a smooth trail with some gentle climbs and suitable for beginner riders.”Mrs Morris said Ruapehu’s developing cycleway network is providing a significant addition to the District’s high-quality tourism assets that showcase its unique environment, iconic natural landscapes as well as heritage and culture.“Ruapehu’s cycleway network of trails such as Fisher’s Track and the Ohakune Old Coach Road offer a world-class cycling experience that enhances Ruapehu’s competitiveness as a visitor destination and helps cement Ruapehu as the North Island’s premier outdoor recreation area,” she said.“The cycleway network has a pivotal role in developing Ruapehu as a year-round tourism destination and stimulating both population and new business growth.”

Yessssssssssssss, Phil and I went for an explore over Easter and noticed a trend by some Government depts to not fully comply with the law

[HTML]A.8 Gates and cattle stops

State Law
"Section 344 Local Government Act 1974. Gates and cattle stops across roads--(1) The Council may, in writing, permit the erection of a swing gate or a cattle stop or both across any road, where--
(a) In the council's opinion it is not practicable or reasonable to fence the road; or
(b) By agreement the road has been taken or may be constructed through private lands and the owner or occupier requests that a gate or a cattle stop or both be erected on the outer boundary at the cost (including maintenance) of one or both parties as may be agreed.
(2) Where a gate is erected across a road under subsection (1) of this section, a board with the words "Public Road" legibly painted in letters of not less than 75 millimetres in height shall be fixed upon each side of the gate and at all times maintained thereon by the person authorised to erect the gate, or at whose cost it has been agreed that the gate shall be erected and maintained.


Probably just an oversight I am sure

I will be staying in Kawhia on Friday should anyone from out of town need a bed in the area.

Anyone with a spare bed for Sat. or want to share a four person std. cabin, I'll pay half either way. I don't mind taking the bunks in the four person cabin.
