Woodcocks road. Warkworth to sh16. Melting tar for about 5ks, Sh16 end. Surface badly broken up on some corners, particularly on one way bridges. Got tar all over the bike, even on the screen, visor and jacket

Some resurfacing going on through the little residential'ish area at Wharekawa a few km's north of Kaiua.

Quite a loose chip surface, well sign posted and close to houses so you probably won't be caning it (yeah right!).

Nothing major, just a heads up to take it a little easy if you're heading that way.

1 k of tar & loose chip south of hunua on the backroad...
also plenty between the hunua gorge & hunua just laid recently.
take care peeps.

Warning, Tank accident on the Mangamuka Gorge this morn (Froday 4-11-05). Has left diesel on it. Recommend if you are going to Kaitaia or Awanui, go via the East Coast on SH10 rather than SH1 over the Mangamuka's.

small section of this fine road missing, about 300m south of 22/hetherington rd intersection, just past pothole 77a, work on second narrow bridge has caused removal of road for a shorttime, minor off road detour in place, should be sweet by next week end.

Waiteitei Rd from Wellsford to Mangawhai has 3.5 km of dirt left to be sealed and will be completed by xmas.
This will eliminate 7 km of boring S.H.1 for those taking the coastal route north.

P.S. Beware! the causeway between Mangawhai Village and Mangawhai Heads
has had the speed limit reduced to 80
