Odlins Rd

Post by DaveM »

This id from another site, not familiar with the area but others will be...

DOC has asked that people don't cross the Five day slip on Odlins Road.

Offically vehicle access stops at Renata ridge, not the hut.

We know its a great drive however lets keep DOC happy. Its there support that allows us to use some of these tracks.

correct it was the otaki side of odlins road ,which many years ago went all the way through to otaki gorge road,but these days shes only safe for trampers and youd be suprised how many huts are hiding up there for example the renata ridge hutt (near the tank traps).........
