March 2nd 2017 - I travelled down from Auckland to Wellington, Met up with Chris and Coxy and we headed to Picton
The 207-kilometre journey from Blenheim to Hanmer
Springs follows the Awatere River, then crosses Wards Pass
to follow the Acheron to its confluence with the Clarence
River. the Awatere Valley road is pretty basic but with incredible country and views.
The 112-kilometre road from Hanmer to St Arnaud (via
Tophouse Rd and Wairau Hanmer Springs Hydro Rd) is tough, especially only a few months after the earthquake. but even better countryside. DO IT!
In between we travelled a few trails around PIcton and road from Hanmer Springs to Kiakoura and back. beautiful trip on the backroads.
