So tick all the boxes?

Sweet as.

will we all need to apply for permits before the trip ??

Yip

sweet just applied seeing as it is a 4 month permit

Got mine for the "Whakatane Waioeka Urutawa area, should cover it.

It`s a few weeks to go yet but I`d like to know what the road in is like as will be towing my caravan in, anyone had a look in there, going down on the Wednesday 1st to pic the best camp/parking site.

More like Dad's Army @anthony. We'll all be armed, remember.

You'd be pretty keen trying to and take your caravan up there at the moment as there are some dropouts along the road with a direct route to the river 30m or so below. First is just after Ogilvies bridge, another just after the 12 Mile and the other just before the 8 Acre. There's also further collapse occurring immediately before the Lions Hut but still plenty of width there, just don't be tempted to cruise over close to the edge. The road is pretty narrow at the other points mentioned but contractors are presently working (slowly) on the one at Ogilvies and will carry on up. We have had an lot of rain this winter, last being 140mm on Monday. No problem for a ute but a little restricted for a caravan just now. On the positive side the road surface is very good.

Ok, Thanks for that 38 South, looks like I'll be a no show as only a front wheel drive car so it`s on to plan C, which is up to KeriKeri for a few days, mite get in a fishing trip , so fish and chips instead of venison hot pot. Have fun guys, catch you some time later.

I wouldn't necessarily write it off, as I said there are contractors currently working on the road so maybe they"ll get it sorted before you get there. There is also a good campsite at Ogilvies Bridge - even has flush toilets, and currently no problems getting there.
