4WD track in the Canterbury region
Random Spur Road is a rugged 4WD route in Canterbury that links Cheviot to Kaiwara Road East, cutting through open farmland and rolling hills. The track offers wide views of the surrounding countryside, including the Hurunui River and Lowry Hills. It's unsealed and often rough, with multiple farm gates along the way—so be prepared to stop and leave each one exactly as you found it. A short side track near the top leads to a scenic trig point with sweeping outlooks over the landscape. The route is best tackled in dry conditions with a capable 4WD, as the surface can become slippery when wet. Expect a steady mix of climbing and descending across the spur, with little shade and exposed terrain throughout. It's a satisfying run for those who enjoy backcountry farm tracks and big-sky Canterbury scenery.
