    Easier way is from Pelorus Bridge to Nelson

    Hard ride, worth the effort, pretty steep at the start of the decent into Nelson, but quickly levels out to a brilliant decent.

    The Maungatapu Saddle is the main route for power lines from Nelson to Marlborough. The gravel road is very rough and steep, especially on the western side. Open only to walkers, mountain bikers and motorcycles. Closed to all other motorized vehicles since 2010.
