A reminder that under DOC rules, the 42 Traverse closes to 4WD's from1 May until 1 December each year.

It is intended to do another 'cut back' later this year and a date will be sorted with DoC so that an announcement can be made before September... probably for a weekend in November.
This effort will need to be a major one if we are going to keep access.

1st April? I thought it's closed from May 1st?

From the DOC website :

"4WD vehicles are not permitted from 1 May - 30 November"
