French Pass anyone?
 

We're thinking we may make a trip to French Pass. Any one been there ? I'm thinking some of the Marlborough posse may be in the know as they are closest. ;)
How is the road and how much of it is there. I can only take so much unmade , pitted winding road.:ohmy:
What sort of accom is available. I can only find a DOC campsite and some swish looking beachfront units.
Could we possibly get there by a water taxi at all.

All help & info. gratefully received. Karma will be dispensed.

Hi Bev
Just asked OH, who's a Nelson local, about French Pass and he says that he's been there and it's very nice. Unfortunately, for you maybe, the road is a gravel one. He's not sure about getting a water taxi there but says you'd probably be able to hire a boat if you fancied doing it yourself. He also says that he thinks there would be accommodation there but that's all I got out of him (he's reading the paper atm and is fairly engrossed in it!!!)

Not really sure if I've helped much on this one, sorry! :unsure:

OH also said he's going to take me there for a day soon so I'd be interested in hearing about it from you please.

Ta for that.

Are you in Wakefield outside of Nelson?

Re: French Pass anyone?
 

No problem.

Yep, we are - on top of one of the hills looking out towards Nelson and the sea. It's stunningly beautiful and peaceful! We've only been living here for a couple of months, although OH has lived in Nelson for years.

Brill :)

We looked at some sections up 88 Valley, over at Wakefield .
I'm sure it is extremely peaceful.

Sandi Bloss is suggesting a bit of a meet up on Rabbit Island one weekend afternoon. Perhaps see you there.
