After leaving Mapua, I spent a day in Nelson then travelled on to Blenheim via French Pass, this took me a lot further out of my way than I had anticipated but the views were spectacular.
25km each way of unmade road that followed the mountain ridge most of the route. The surface was loose gravel, the road was only one vehicle wide and I have to admit in the van I was a bit apprehensive at times.
I reached the town late in the afternoon. There were camping facilities on a car park with toilets and cold showers.
I travelled across the Marlborough wine growing area and down past Cloudy Bay to Blenheim where I stayed the night and continued to Kaikoura the next day
