Well its time again to head norf but need your knowledge of the local area

Can you tell me if the following roads are sealed from Dargiville to Kaiwaka,Inch road,Oparakau road,Mountain Road,

or if there is another route worth looking at??

We will be heading south via Twin bridges and north via Mangawhai road,Mangawhai heads,Cove road onto Waipu. We like to Avoid main roads where at all possible

Thanks in Advance...

No shortage of good roads but not sure exactly what to tell you. Dargas to kaiwaka, i would go SH14 towards whangarei, right onto weke rd,right onto snooks rd, right onto old schoolrd, right to maungakaramea then turn left towards and then thru tauraroa then left towards mangapai turning right onto the legendary oakleigh/paparoa rd. left at paparoa and then out to SH1
Also available is the murray rd from pakotai to tangowahine
Enjoy

I stumbled upon a road a few months ago Barry that is really worth the time.
Kaihohe to Dargaville...(Murray Road) runs off Mangakahia (Twin Bridges) road..
If it suits your time time table, then the suggestion is, use it.

Twisty and the top end through the trees (would have just been planted 20 years ago) ending up with nice/quick sweepers.
Theres is a 50K sign post in the middle of nowhere...take heed, theres a quite a drop in the road just ahead, bum leaves seat kinda drop..

Also some good riding to pataua north and across mt tiger if you are looking to burn off some of that spare fuel. When you doing it and how far north are you going?

Ther is an exeptional one of these in the road that goes back towards the hills beside ruakaka primary school SH1. Is about one km up the road over some gravel before going hard left onto newish seal. Give it a big handfull and you will prolapse your botty at the bottom of the dip. It will put a smile on your face I promise!
