Winding gravel through open Canterbury hill country, with views opening up across the surrounding land as the road climbs and curves. Plenty of rolling farmland to take in along the way.

The going is gentle gravel rather than anything technical. Easy enough that it suits stitching together a circuit or moving between tracks without any real challenge. Handy as a connector if you're linking up other routes to build a longer day out.

Take the usual care on loose gravel and keep an eye out for other road users.
