That's what the area's like..
Sorry CC, just re-reading this and registered confusion... you recommend doing the 42nd traverse if flying to the South Island... but in this post you talk about Tongariro, Ngaruahoe and Ruepehu... they are at Lake Taupo... in fact I can see Ruapehu from the top of our farm and we are in Hawkes Bay!

Methinks you have your mountains mixed up!??



LOL... Dirt Diva, I have been so close so many times... I think if i can drop my workload down a fraction, I will make time for regular off-roading - not just THINK about it
