That's the Top. East is Featherston, South West is Upper Hutt and Wellington

Go down State highway 2.
Why google earth needs to come into it is beyond me...

[Skunk]

Route planning. Add a waypoint on each road and use GoogleEarth to connect the dots. Then go to Google Maps with it and each directions and distances (and generous times!)

Look for the road that runs between Upper Hutt and Featherston, the twisty fun road that goes through the hills and bush is the Rimutaka hill road.

There's a bit of a thread about it here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=61111

Now of course if you're road-seeking, then we would be unkind not to include Paekakariki Hill Road - Grays Rd - SH58 - then Rimutaka Hill Rd

Oh yes, if you're going to be there in the next few days, bring your accessories ...

Might do that one in reverse - prob stay the night in masterhole then into wellington via the way you suggested!

pahiatua track is mint, good choice

make sure you do this too


edit: there's a crapload of primo roads around the wairarapa, between the track and rimutaka

[Grub]

make sure you do this too

Good thinking Yod ... so then we''d better get serious and add Upper and Lower Kawhatau into your route

and this
