Waikaia Bush Road, Symes Road or Nevis Road (Duffers Saddle) are the main access points. From memory the Duffers Saddle end crosses station land which you should get permission for, but this may have been overtaken by tenure review.

I imagine it is pretty white at the moment.

Actually, looking closer at that map, a few of the tracks we would drive are now showing as walking /MTB.

Can go up Whitecombe road from Piano Flat i think it is. Thats a good drive.

Do you have to cross private land on Symes rd

[NJV6]

No. Symes road runs from fruitlands to the obelisk whichis where the repeater is and is public road, graded maybe once a year.
