This easy, scenic drive winds through very isolated hill country in the Manawatu-Whanganui region. The route is graded gravel and makes for a pleasant, straightforward run, with sweeping views over remote farmland and rolling hills. The track ends at a clearly marked locked gate, so plan to return the way you came. Along the way you'll pass several other gates used for stock control — please leave these exactly as you find them to keep the landowners onside and the access open. With little traffic and a remote feel, it's a relaxed outing for those wanting a quiet taste of the back country rather than a technical challenge.
