Cape Palliser Lighthouse

[col.whiplash]

Hi,
Anyone know the story about access through Cape Palliser Lighthouse to Te Kaukau Point. Is there a locked gate and if so how does one get access?

Is it worth driving? ( three shinny'ish vehicles, newish defender & disco 3 and a Prado)

Thanks

Been for a drive round their a few times, fairly easy road from memory, can't remember how far I went the last time as it was dark. Talk to your friendly local council about access although I am sure they don't allow casual access. You can drive to the car park and do a mountain bike recce, thats a good ride

land changed hands recently, access is unavaliable at the moment i'm told

Thanks

Anyone know of any other interesting off road trips in that area (Wairarapa)? As the wagons are new'ish bush bashing is not desired.

Am running another Wainui coast trip soon, keep an eye on here for other trips
