The Mangawhai Team went through last weekend. Fine.. bit wet but was over the recent problems. If you haven't already gone.. now's good before it gets too wet and cold. Fuel in Te Araraoa. Look at the weather , as last time we went through the Mangaweka as it was p'ssing darn and went anti-clockwise. This time went the west to east route. She's much better now than when I hitch hiked through there as a 15 year old school boy with me guitar and a pack! Have a good ride.
