Hi, Have only ever been up that far once but from what I can remember Blenheim to Picton was about 40 minutes and Blenheim to Nelson is longer, about two hours!!! Lots of people here will be able to give you better advice that me but I think thats roughly the journey time. Hope this helps.

I work in Blenheim and when we first moved we lived just outside Picton. Journey time was 30mins and you only pass about five cars along the way!

I will say that after a couple of months, I was getting fed up of the jouney, it only took 30mins, but it started to seem a long way.

Blenheim to Nelson is about 90-100mins away, but is a bugger of a road, very windy and steep in parts, few overtaking lanes, lots of logging trucks and camper vans in the summer (inconsiderate bloody toursit drivers).

Yup. Nelson to Blenheim is about 90/120 minutes and I totally agree with Beachcombers. It's a bugger of a road.
Nelson to Picton takes around the same time. Same blummin' road for the most part.
