The BEST Molesworth and Rainbow roads by Motorbike video you will ever see!
March 2nd 2017 - I travelled down from Auckland to Wellington, Met up with Chris and Coxy and we headed to Picton
The 207-kilometre journey from Blenheim to Hanmer
Springs follows the Awatere River, then crosses Wards Pass
to follow the Acheron to its confluence with the Clarence
River. the Awatere Valley road is pretty basic but with incredible country and views.
The 112-kilometre road from Hanmer to St Arnaud (via
Tophouse Rd and Wairau Hanmer Springs Hydro Rd) is tough, especially only a few months after the earthquake. but even better countryside. DO IT!
In between we travelled a few trails around PIcton and road from Hanmer Springs to Kiakoura and back. beautiful trip on the backroads.

Molesworth and Rainbow Station drive.
For anyone thinking they may want to do this very scenic trip in future this is basically a dash cam drive through Molesworth and Rainbow stations. Best viewed in high definition. Our trip starts from the Awatere valley entrance, down to Hanmer springs and then back up the western side of the Molesworth and through Rainbow station to state highway 63. Not a difficult road and, apart from the Rainbow station section, it could be done in most two wheel drive cars. Rainbow station requires a higher ground clearance vehicle in places and could, at times, require 4x4. Hope you enjoy!
4 Day Molesworth 4wd Trip - 30 Dec - 2-Jan-2014
Our Trip began at Blenheim Railway station where we met Geoff, our Guide. We then did a loop around some of the local vineyards then headed up the Awatere Valley.
Our first two nights were in a Shearers Hut which had good facilities. We had Dinner and Lunch the following day with Bill & Nicky & Family from Upcot Station. Bill took us on a couple of trips on his station on private tracks.
Next we followed the Valley through to Jollies Pass and down into Hanmer Springs and stayed in a Motel there for the night, and a group meal out.
Following and last day up over Jacks Pass and through Rainbow Road, which was considerably rougher than the the previous road and a lot of washouts and water crossings.
A great trip indeed. Thanks to everyone involved in the trip and of course the other travellers with us, nice to meet you all.
MOLESWORTH MUSTER TRAIL - New Zealand. 2016
8th February 2016. The Molesworth Muster Trail is probably one of the most amazing bicycle journeys in the world. From Blenheim to Hanmer Springs, on the South Island of New Zealand, it is approximately 200 kilometres of gravel road through the most wildest farmland in the country.
You need to take food with you because there is nothing on route except a camping / backpackers place at Camden on the northern section. Wild camping s possible, but not on the Molesworth Station property. Gates close from 7pm to 7am, and there are rangers at each end taking note of who goes in and out of Molesworth.
I was alone for most of the Molesworth crossing and spent two nights camping. One just before Molesworth cob cottage, and one night at Acheron house DOC campground. Luckily, the weather was the best it could possible be.

Hard rock: the challenge of the Awatere Valley Road slip
The massive land slip on Awatere Valley Road in Marlborough is proving much more troublesome than first thought.
The 100km-long road connects coastal Marlborough to Molesworth, New Zealand’s largest high-country station, and on to Hanmer Springs.
Nine families remain isolated by the enormous slip.
