The all mighty Forgotten Highway, damn that road lol. On the map book it looks like the quickest way to new plymouth via stratford from taumaranui, i'v taken this highway and it took ages, lol real nice if you had alot of time and were in a car but i was in a B-Train (truck with 2x trailers) loaded to max weight and it was an average speed of about 40-60kmh the whole time on a mostly metal / tight / twisty / single lane bridge / road with hair pins.........damn that road lol, i'd do it in a car tho.

[Guest Rugged_RS]

tight? twisty? gravel? THATS ME!! im down for that lol me and my subbie LIVE for gravel... ;D mwahaha (probly explains why i ended up in a ditch a few weeks back, no damage tho woop woop)

Oh god now theres my happy place.

I grew up on the river road, if you want a nice tight twisty road to ge the blood pumping thats a great one.

Paras are a bloody nice drive too, I quite often get the urge for a light boost and just fill up and drive through for shits and giggles.

I dont think I have done the forgotten highway though. Im not to well traveled under my own power really so i dont know a lot of routes that can be taken.

[DRFVDR]

we could do a parapara/river road run

they ruining the river road though

sealing it

:( :(

[Johnnynz]

Are they? Damn them to hell.

I cant say I have been through further than Artini in a while. I used to live just past there so I often cruise up to see how things are.

[DRFVDR]

yeah they spending like 15 million on it

sealing from raetihi to where seal is on other end

trying to get more tourists

[Johnnynz]

I like it as it is now, toursists go in, drive for 5 minutes, think its a farm track and turn back lol.

[DRFVDR]

yeah I know

now there will lots of them on there

but hopefully less on the parapara

which they doin a shit load of work on as well
