Started from Burger King Hastings. As good a place as any to start. Crap coffee though.

Turn left off the main road. Time for some fun.

Good spots for photography from the ridges.

Road narrows in places and a couple of blind crests to get the heart going. Watch for gravel from driveways in places.

Time for a blast.

Hwy 50
Care over the intersection

Great scenery, good photo spots.

Makaroro Road
Can be very slipery if frosty or wet

Can turn right for a scenic drive to the Ruahine Forest Park, even a paddle in the Makaroro River at the end of Wakarara Road if its warm. Route turns left here

Good twisty spots.
