Make a 1 - 2 hr trip sound like a mission mate....that TL will eat up the hundleys even riding side saddle. Are you from up there? We use to live there in the 80's then I left to see the world and live a bit. Not much there when I was a kid. But heaps of good touring roads away from there

Don't stop at cheviot goto greta valley pub! good food

I thought the inland route was still closed while they clean up after all of those slips. Anybody know any different?

Yeesh that place cost a fortune, well it did a couple of years back when we stopped there and had a coffee on the way back from Blenheim, had a look at the accommodation and nearly passed out at the prices. Tourist market not for the locals.
