Any tips for this area would be appreciated too. PM if you wish.

Many Thanks

Yes you will be able to drive your 2wd ute to either Ruahine Hut or No Mans Hut.

You may be able to get it further to the White Hut but I would not recommend it.

Just past the No Mans Hut the road rises up a steepish incline that has some rather deep ruts scoured out running the length of the road.

Any 4wd will definitely make it ok but it would be 50/50 or less on a 2wd doing it.

As for tips .... Find the fresh sign and you will find the deer........ latest report I have is they appear to be very low down in the creeks.

Have you been there before?

Cheers
