We took the boats up to Whakapirau at the weekend for a paddle. Tried my new TUMONZ mapping software out (you were right – NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH TO TRUST OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE) but it did take us over a lovely little scenic strip of dirt road called Mountain Road which chops about 7ks off the trip to Maungaturoto from Wellsford. 😀 It can be found about two kilometres north of Kaiwaka on the left and returns to the main road SH 12 just before Maungaturoto. It would be useful if you were heading out west or further up country via Paparoa and on to the Twin Bridges.

Pictures? I am still jonesing after a GPS. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who's got the NZ maps. I'd love to know if they'll have all country roads on that as well.
Seeing that I've managed to talk my daughter into a Subaru Legacy, our canoe might get some water time again. Not nealry as sleek as a cyak, though.

Make sure and get the Legacy checked out as they can be trouble.
Go and see Telecom Mobile phone shop they sell Navman which have the maps, but GPS in NZ is very Basic at this Stage. The AA NZ Maps are better.
