    if you don't do the vinegar hill option then my route is shorter.

    and less travelled so speed needs less care

    I don't know this vinegar hill you speak of...
    Also, I don't plan on doing anything silly on roads I don't know and I don't know any of those.

    ham to ohakune and onto sh1 is all very predictable roads.

    vinegar hill runs from sh1 north of hunterville to fielding

    So far, the provisional journey is from Hams -> Te Kuiti -> Taumaranui -> National Park...
    Which of the other two, Wanganui or Taihape, is the best bang for the buck? At this stage I'm inclined to go Wanganui but if you lads and lasses say the other way is better, I shall incline the other way...

    PS: I may have to change my flight plans yet, but I'll let you guys know. Work and shite determines this...

    Take a look on a map and have a look at all the lovely squiggles between National Park & Wangavegas. SH1 thru Taihape is really rather boring, like the rest of that road (in the north is. anyway).

    That is true but as Cowpoos pointed out with the Napier way, the roads may be damp. Do the Wanganui squiggles dry out this time of year? Or remain damp?
