Directions - turn west on the P205 between Newcastle & Ladysmith (approx 33km south of Newcastle), follw the signs

road condition - gravel with concrete strips near the top

difficulty - beginners should be able to cope in dry conditions

altitude - 1900m at top - rises steeply from about 1400m

history - no idea, can't even work out why the pass was built at all : doesn't seem to be a direct route form anywhere to anywhere else

general - great fun, spectacular views, well worth a ride.

pictures - to follow
