LOTS of fun with new friends.
That was one of the best drives I've ever had the pleasure to do.
Bright sunny day, driving through snow with the top down, lots of twisty bits, good company, what more could you ask for?

shame about the traffic tho..
On last week's club run to Eildon, we ran into 1 van on the way up who pulled over for us, and had a blast on the way back with no-one getting in the way at all on the way back. Very unusual, but a lot of fun.
Cheers,

I'm glad they recommend the run up to Lake mountain & back. They should also include the other detour up to Mt. Donna Buang and back. The top part of that in particular is spectacular.
So many nice roads in that area! So little time in a day!
Cheers,
Alf

Doesn't matter how often you do this run, it's still an all time favourite.
We did it again today in the 10AE & had lunch at Marysville, followed by a lovely walk to Steavenson Falls. Only got back home an hour ago & I can still feel the big grin on my old face........this car is bloody unreal!
Good luck with your projects

I was fortunate enough to be able to drive Black Spur, Lake Mountain, Reefton Spur and Mt Donna Buang recently. For mr Black Spur was fantastic - great surface etc but there was traffic. The best I was able to do was about four fifths of the way up before encountering traffic. Donna Buang was pretty good too (but I was too chicken to climb the observation tower)
IMO Reefton (and Lake Mountain) are definitely for the more adventurous - far more challenging and the road surface is not as good as Black Spur
I agree with Col. I drove Black Spur several times and enjoyed every trip (permanent grin). Marysville is a nice town (very quiet in the summer season) and Steavenson Falls is an enjoyable and fairly short walk
