On a side note - some rental vehicles with Tom Tom or similar GPS used to indicate this was the quickest way to drive from Hanmer to Nelson! Good luck with that our foreign friends! That may have pissed off the Rainbow on a few occasions!

I get that mountain biking is not likely to be a huge issue, but anyone hopping round the gate on private property and assuming the right, is just going to make landowner tighten things up all round
