It took us 3.5 hours one-way with a couple of snack/photo breaks.

Re: The 42 Traverse Discussion Thread

We did a trip through just after Christmas. No worries at all for 2 Suzuki's and a quad bike. Some pretty awesome scenery along the way. While the track itself wasn't anything particularly difficult I guess it's always a good idea to have another vehicle close by especially since its a 46km track.

Truck without snorkle will be fine, if it's too deep, we'll sort out alternatives. Tim has rented a Holden Rodeo for the day and we don't want to kill it, so be good to see you there. Leaving Ashhurst Domain Camp grounds at 09:30 on Saturday morning, will be on PRS channel 9. cheers Greg 0272560470 ...

Had an awesome time yesterday. Here's a few pictures of the washout from Friday night - i'd estimate 4m deep and about 10m wide at full flow We managed to walk through it and down to the hut, vehicle access to the hut is now impossible until all that mud hardens... even then it will require some ...

Out of interest, does the track continue on past that green hut??



I've never been past the hut myself. Apparently years ago it linked up to Otaki forks but from what I've heard and read the track quickly deteriorates past the hut and is impassable by 4wd's.

Odlins Road 12/10/13

Doing another Odlins trip on the 12th of October. Meeting up in the top carpark at 10am (directly opposite Waiotauru Road). Last trip was a good one with 5 trucks even though it bucketed down all day. Videos from last trip can be found in the other thread. http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o82 ...

Re: Odlins Road 21/09/2013

Heading from Wellington, is faster to take the SH2 to Upper Hutt and turn up Akatawara road and through shitloads of twisty forest, or is it better just to take SH1 straight to Waikanae and drop in from the top?? m I'd say it is probably faster to come up to Waikanae and then head up. That twisty ...

Re: Odlins Road 21/09/2013

Fair call on doing the training day - they don't come up all that often. I have changed the date to the 21st. Hopefully this date still works with everyone.

Cool mapping pic. What app did you use to create that? My mate had his Garmin eTrex in the glovebox. It makes a file which you can then load onto Google Earth - once its in Google Earth you can click on any part of the track to find speed, elevation, time of day etc. Pretty cool device really ...

Hi i'm Mark. Bought a '96 Suzuki Samurai yesterday and I am keen to see what this thing can do. Hopefully will attend some training days in the near future as I have very little offroad driving experience. The truck maybe better known around here as ZOOK http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o82 ...
