Top of the South Island trampers will be pleased to hear that a badly damaged access road to one of the region’s best tramping areas should be reopened by spring. Graham Valley Road near Motueka offers access to a popular section of Kahurangi National Park, including the track network of Mt Arthur Tablelands, the Cobb Valley region and beyond. The steep 4WD-only road has a long history of storm damage, closures and repairs.
