A group of us completed the loop right across the top about 20 years ago. I contacted both the farmers at Fletchers Bay and Stoney Bay and both gave us permission. Then I contacted DOC re the bit in between and they said, bicycles OK, Motorcycles no way Jose. So we just went and did it anyway and nobody was the wiser and no conservation was undone. Easy route.
