Can go in either from the Pahiatua track, (north range road) or head in form the Woodville end head over the Ballance Bridge at the start of the gorge, grab the first road on the right (Hall Block Rd) and follow your nose.
Used to be pretty hardcore pre windmill days but it's a nice wee cruise with some cool scenery nowadays. After the first few km from the Pahiatua track end it gets a bit grubby due to it being an unmaintained road and the rain cuts it up a bit (as can be seen in the vid). Gareth is on H/T tyres in his Jimny and had very little problem getting through. I think the paj lifted a wheel a couple of times but it's an easy drive.
