Just done that road. came down Awatere Rd to Hanmer, stayed the night there then back up through Rainbow a great trip.

A heap of rain the night we finished so rivers may have washed out some parts again by now. Looked like a lot of crossings had just been repaired when we came up Rainbow on 2nd January.

A great trip indeed. Was travelling with 4 others but saw a lot of others the roads also.
