Odlins Track - Wellington 2024

Odlins track has got to be one of our top 3 tracks in New Zealand so far. You don't drive more than 5 minutes and you hit obstacles. This track is not for beginners or anyone without some sort of recovery gear and mates.
Odlins if full of off cambered, cross axle, rutted rocky climbs to the top with a few shallow bogs and views that will blow your mind. This track can change instantly when wet so be prepared for anything. In this episode we only covered the summit and back. We will be back to go to the hut and side tracks...
Highly recommend this for a proper challenge.
Last but not least respect the tracks, keep it clean and take your rubbish home!

I'm amazed at how bad the condition of that road is now compared to when I used to drive my 1963 Morris 1100 in there about 53 years ago. That was my favourite place to go to, to get away from Wellington city. I used to drive all the way to the shelter shed and the old wooden log bridge across the Waiotauru River. The road wasn't overgrown with vegetation, as I see it is now.

Do you have any photos of what it used to look like?

Was steve Burd one of your mates going up there?

[@user-um6qi5oz6h]

@@limitlessevolutionnz No I'm afraid not; I didn't have a camera then and of course mobile phones weren't invented until many decades later.

@@anthonyholmes3569 No, I always went by myself.

You be changing some wheel bearings soon ppphheewww

[@limitlessevolutionnz]

You're not wrong lol

[@glenbramley6488]

Always maintain that safe distance....indeed...kinda hoped it wouldn't have been on camera but oh well

[@limitlessevolutionnz]

Hey mate, was conflicted about adding it but in the end thought it's better so people can see that even above the vehicle is probably not safe either. And, the wheel lift in that was just epic!
As long as you enjoyed it, that's all that matters. No one got hurt and that's the aim of the game. Have fun but everyone goes home safe

Can one camp on this track ? Is there flat areas to camp ?

[@limitlessevolutionnz]

Apologies for the late response mate, yep, you can camp on the track but the only flat camp spots are at the summit and by the hut. Getting to the hut is difficult. The track is chewed out. I would walk that first before you venture down there

[@kamilagifkins3941]

...and the price for most amount of wheel lifts go too.....

[@limitlessevolutionnz]

Hahahahaha no Pajeros were harmed in the making of this video
