Short Story!
Me and the missus headed out East a couple of years ago; We headed to "The Longest Named Place in the World" (Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu) There's nothing there other than a long sign post! But the roads we found out there were pretty good. We headed to Dannevirke, then turned right onto Weber Road which led onto Route 52 and followed it to a place called Wimbledon, where there was a nice friendly pub called Wimbeldon Tavern. Then we carried on up Route 52 to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu.
After taking a picture or two of the sign we headed back South along Route 52, this time not going back to Dannevirke, we stayed on Route 52 towards Alfredton, then onto Eketahuna - This was a very good, quiet, driving road!
