EOI xmas/ new years roadies 2013/14

[skid]

had a plan in my head for years now

a simple roadie, sealed roads and gravel roads with a small 4wd detour in the middle

wellington - stratford - taumaranui (via forgotten highway) - 42 traverse - taihape - hawkes bay (via gentle annie) - masterton - wellington.

trying not to use main highways as much as possible

freedom camping everywhere and anywhere

possibly 4-6 days of cruising

whos keen

got a map dude

is this turning off 43 and then hopping back on 43 further along

dont want to miss out on the tunnels etc on 43

can the bridge be accessed from 43 with minimal detour

Whangamomona has a good cheap campground with showers and a pub within easy staggering distance

possibly keen

Or do what we did a few years ago and go through whangamomona and out through the paper road that crosses Aotuia (sp?) station. Brings you out closer to Taumaranui. Nice drive through the station.
