We followed the old gold miners' road to the remains of Skippers township. The 'road' is loose gravel and schist and is very narrow, only just as wide as a car, in places the sheer drop to the side of the road is over 100m. Long sections of the track have no turning points so we just hoped we wouldn't meet anyone. You need a 4WD to do this safely and it is not for the faint hearted.In the picture you can see the line of the road cutting across the vertical cliff face. The scenery is spectacular with great views of the Shotover river.
