How long to drive from West Akd to Tairua?

trogedon, May 21, 5:01am
I'm having strange ideas about doing the K2 but couldn't afford to stay there the night before. I'd be driving early in the morning and I usually sit on about 90kph.

2hrs 45mins if you get a good run

Depends on wether ya go round-or via the ole **309**

What's that road like! Sealed! How is it for someone who's never driven it!

Gravel-tight and twisty-and-common to meet trucks coming the other way
[Usually when ya sort warn passengers she's a bit tight thru here-and voila truck outa nowhere-LOL]
Damn nice piece of road I M H O

They say that its very similar going from Tairua to west auckland in distance and time.

Can't you drop points on google maps to get a rough idea on travel times!

trogedon, May 21, 8:44am
I didn't think of that but there's so many knowledgeable people in here.

30 minutes to the Bombays, 30 minutes to Kopu, 30 minutes to Tairua. Tops.

2 hours 45 minutes! LOL No way in hell unless you're an old man wearing a hat towing a 30' caravan with a Suzuki Swift.

Don't be stoopid! It's uphill!

165kms and 2hrs and 3 minutes from Railside ave, henderson, but if you go via my house just add on about 12 hours and food stops etc.according to google anyway !

Why on earth would you use the 309 for Tairua! That would be one hell of a long short cut.

next-to-normal, May 21, 10:25am
2hours should do it
