Mar 06, 2025 Waoku Coach Road Trail Report

Finally rode the whole thing, I can see why it's not popular, plenty of mudbogs but was essentially 'clear' the whole way meaning it was _passable_ ie no slips or massive washouts, the slips that do exist can be passed by, the ancient one scrambled over, the downed trees can be passed too, some look like they've been there for decades. The gorse at the northern end wasn't that bad. If you're reading this and thinking of giving it a go - it took me 7 hours and 30 minutes out and back, very slow going. Not sure about the hut, the sign says private property so I didn't go past the gate... Now time for some Vaseline, ouch.
