Foxton-Shannon road advice, please!

[Hitcher]

Leave Palmerston North to the South East, past Massey University. Then keep going till you hit SH1 just south of Fielding.

Gahh! And that Manawatu town is spelt Feilding, home to the Manfeild raceway (also note spelling). It's nice to see somebody has an eye for detail.

The alternate route described above is far far better than the parallel section of SH1.
There are currently roadworks around Foxton.

I guess once you reach the ocean, you'd know you've gone too far.

That stretch of road between Pioneer Highway and Opiki is exquisite at extreme speeds on a 3 cylinder motorcycle too, so I'm told. Especially the sweepers leading up to and over the bridge apparantly

They're not too bad on a single banger either. Even if it is at a more gentlemanly pace.

Must investigate.

haha yep not to mention when you get back on SH1 after going through shannon you are actually just south of levin. also they are just about to seal the short bit of gravel just past the opiki turn off on the massey road. they are fair pissing about with those road works, I go through them twice a day if anyone needs an update b4 heading through.
