We need to send some of these buggers up the Havlock pylon track...
And sit back at the Slip Inn with a latte and pair of binos and watch.

Yes TR and Mrs TR are back now and yes we had an awesome trip through the Mackley to Denniston, it was my first two up adventure ride but with a nice sharp E07 on the rear and TKC80 on the front it was all good.
Anyway we meet team JATZ at the steel Bridge and after a quick hello we are off, the track had had a lot of rain so it was washed out in places and shingle heaped in other places, got through to the Mackley no worries, took our bags of and walked the river, probably 600mm at the deepest bit for us.
We all crossed the river OK and off again, the next creek was fine but the climb out and up the hill was like riding up a fresh shingle scree, it was f*&ken hard going to say the least, after a lot of swearing we all got to the top for a well earned drink and munchies.
Anyway I have attached pictures as they are worth a thousands words so I don't have to write anymore, A couple of pics from Big River too.
Thanks to JATZ senior & JATZ Junior, MM and Mrs TR for photos and a good day

Yes it was fairly steep but the main issue was the fresh dump of lose boulders and ruts between 400mm and 1100mm deep from flooding, we were spitting stones everywhere and avoiding dropping bikes into a big ruts, especially JATZ DR750, it is a big bike, I am glad the last bike was the DR250 (nice and Light).

I wondered if it would be similar to cnut/the scree of despair ? JMJ.
I think TR would have got up if it wasn't for a narrow path of loose rocky stuff at the bottom, with a drop either side.
Thanks for the pics TR

I have driven cnut hill and it is definitely easier than the exit of the creek we came out of although cnut hill is a lot longer.
I still rate my chances of success better on cnut hill.

.... I mean ..... what can possibly go wrong?
Will have to come up to the NI, will get a new passport and make a date, end of April ish would be good, weather coolig back a bit and likely to be sorta kinda settled.
