What a beautiful day - after a picnic with out church out at Kaitoke a small group of us re-grouped at Jules' place and headed for the Akatarawa Road summit. Andy in his Terrano, Jules in his Mistral, Callum with his quad in the back of his van and me and my trusty jeep. Jules and Andy had friends riding along with them.
After a play on the hill at the carpark we headed off along Odlins Road. A great trip to the summit carpark near the Renata Hut. Some tricky bits saw Andy and Jules having to have several goes with limited articulation, and some great views to be had.
After a rest we headed back out, this time we were able to see both Mt Taranaki & Mt Ruapehu from one view point, amazingly clear evening, beautiful light on the ranges - definitely worth the drive.
Back to the Akatarawa Road to air-up and head for home. After leaving Stokes Valley at 4:50 pm, I got back home at 10:10 pm. A neat evening.
