    Back to the pics and stuff.......

    New years day, and The boy and I headed off on a mission, I wanted to do the Mackley river and Boy wanted to do Big river and Molesworth
    I got hold of Monstaman and Trials rider (we'll call them Mm and Tr from here aye ) so we had some company for the first day
    Here's we are on the dry weather rd.


    a gentle pootle down to Iron bridge in the middle of the Buller gorge
    and we waited.....


    We could see where the river had been up to earlier in the week, musta had a bit of rain down here, I did take a pic but it's crap so I'll leave it out anyway.... away we went heading for Denniston, via the scenic route a brief stop to...... I dunno..... stop


    then down to the Mackley river
    after taking luggage and excess stuff accross and scouting the best route. it wasn't as bad as I thought
    sorry about the crap pic
    through the river and we had to get around this.....


    succesfully past and on we went to the next obstacle....
    a quick looksee and it was all go




    The lovely lady in the bottom right of the pic is Mrs Tr, she was pillioning through
    Then the long climb up, up, up, up




    This bit turned put to be the worst bit, very loose and rocky..... lots of pushing and shoving, wheelspin, revving engine and burning clutch and the Big was up
    Tr rode most of the way up with only a couple of helping hands in places (can see the benefits of trials riding when it comes to this stuff) (and Mrs Tr walked this bit to take photos) Mm did likewise and I wont mention anything about any falling over , the 250 coulda done with a bit more weight.
    View from the top...



    After that it was all pretty tame
    The Boy showing off


    Anyway.... we got to Denniston, which has changed a bit since I was last there and down to Westport for lunch.Then back to Reefton wher we had to sort out some digs for the night and caught up with Mm and Tr for a quick squirt into Big river.
    Went up the zig zag track to a look out....


    then flew into Big river, well Tr and Mm flew, me and the Boy pootled so I havn't got hardly any pics.
    Here's the Boy showin off again.





    then back to a pub for a de-brief, i.e. food and beer

    day 2 to follow......

    Day 2

    Started off.... ummm.... not so flash soaked by the time we'd got over the Rahu and into Springs junction. a quick (average) pie and a coffee and check in with home to see if the weather's any better on the east coast. It was
    Over the Lewis and onto dry roads



    Through Hanmer, get a bit of fuel for the Boy and over Jollies into the Molesworth



    A little bit of excitment....


    And a little bit of ingenuity


    other than that it was the usuall Molesworth station road, in good nick ATM too



    And thats about it..... met Mrs Jatz in Nelson and came home via Old coach rd

    Oh....except for this.....

    about 10 k's from home

    With a bit of luck Mrs Tr will post some of her pics from the Mackley section, when they get home from holiday

    Wot The Jatz, Little Jatz ,MM ,TR and MRs TR RIder Did....

    I can verify all the lies JATZ told as true and correct.

    So yeap JATZ, Little JATZ, MM and Trials Rider with Mrs TR on board did the trip with nearly no damage (I bent my oil cooler) and JATZ ended up with a semi auto DR Big

    What a great day we had, beautiful weather other than being 30 degs too hot pushing bikes up the hill

    I thought I would stop half way up for a rest and lay down ... so did the bike ... only in front of an audience eh

    So other than the one snarly hill climb the rest was perfect and the panini and coffee at Westport was welcomed.

    Saw the height of the water from the floods and Hawks Crag up to the hand railing which was 11 metres above normal flow height

    Back to Reefton and into Big River and back, shagged at the end so we joined JATZ and Little JATZ for a VISA tea at the pub ... easy as!!.

    Cheers for the great day, look forward to catchin up on the DB.

    Attached is some pics I took,TR and Mrs TR are still away so no doubt they will give their version of what really happened

    Some truckart and some DaRt to view.
