Glen Davis Road is well maintained,
with few potholes and plenty
of roadside markers. Being the long
weekend there were a few other vehicles
however, courtesy and respect
were evident. After about 26kms,
with much of the bitumen stretch
smooth and fast flowing, the road
turns to gravel.
Crossing the Capertee River, the
road forks left and right; left takes
one to Rylstone and Mudgee via Glen
Alice, whilst the right fork takes one
to Glen Davis. The road deteriorates
a little after the turn off, with recent
rain the road is a little chopped up in
some places.
As you wind your way down into
the Capertee Valley and inch closer to
Glen Davis, the view in no way deteriorates.
