    Next time you go up,there are a few back roads around Tariki area,looking at the map you were in the area or thereabouts.Can go quite a few roads from Inglewood inland via Tarata,Tariki,and out about Toko,then onto back of Ngaire and out at Eltham area.

    The mountain has been conspicuous by it's absence last 2 times I've been up Pembroke Rd,and only 5 km from park boundary,great views when snow capped,and with good binoculars can see people almost skiing.

    Yep, sister is in Tariki Rd South. Did some back roads on the C1KC that bypassed Hawera (thank goodness) and wouldn't mind finding some more. Hate the main road from here to the 'naki - except for those delicious corners just North off Wanganui...

    Not many where you can bypass Hawera,although turning off at Mountain Rd north of Eltham,onto Austin,Turuturu,Ohangai rds past Tawhiti Museum(a must see) and out at Main rd is ok.

    There is a few roads off Tariki Rd,which takes you to Beaconsfield Rd? and end up south of Toko(by cemetary) on outskirts of Stratford.Can be boring from Hawera to Waitotara,then onto goat valley is ok.Then again you can make good time up if no cops on main road though.Shame there is no back route as such to bypass Patea and Waverley,just a few loop roads which still come onto SH3.

    Weather permitting and i'm near certain it will be going to be by the forecasts and the feel of it outside (crispy!) I think I might take a ride through to Hastings tomorrow, probably via Middle road and perhaps back through HW50, if anyone is keen probably look at meeting at the Vegas BP at 10 am to leave 10:30ish.

    I am going to head out this afternoon, if anyone feels like a cruzie ride.

    Doing my dog thing till about 12 or 1ish, home for a feed & shower, should be ready to head out around 2ish. I will check online if any one feels like it before I go. No plans at this stage so suggestions welcome.

    If I had a ride-on for my lawns, I'd need shooting! It only takes about 45 minutes with line-trimming included.
