Neither karen nor I had been through the molesworth, so last waitangi weekend we got around to doing it.
Verdict?
Brilliant, much more than I expected. It was very gorgy ~ more akin to central otago than anything in the northern part of the south island. Lots of big deep (fairly) warm swimming holes (which we took advantage of). Once you get to the northern end of the molesworth turn around and go back. The 100 km through to blenheim its pretty dreary.
This panorama (of about 180°) is taken close to the hanmer end. A real photographer would shudder, but my samsung galaxy s2 is fantastic at doing clever things like panoramas and hdr shots ~ stuff that used to take me ages in photoshop is now automatic.
