Nice route Yod,when heading through the naki,at Normanby if time head left at White Heather Caravans on Ohangai Rd,passed Tawhiti museum,follow signs to South Rd,you come out by the rail overbridge near Mokoia,takes out Hawera(unless need fuel)but typical country road,can be tractors on it and crap falls off them.

Usually do it clockwise and stop in Hawera for gas but otherwise I'll keep an eye out for the turn off and have a nosey, cheers

Jeebus, you need to remedy that quick-smart. Mt Messenger and Awakino gorge are seriously FMS.

Will try and give more notice next time, I know it was a bit last minute. Where you marshalling? Taupo?
