Maungatapu Track

I think I might go for a look tomorrow, on the way back from the ferry. I should be in Pelorous about 1:17p.m. Happy to have company if anyone wants to join me

If you can wait a bit later (like till 5 ) I'm in!

Follow the Maitai road until you get to the car park at the end and take the road up the hill to the care takers house. Ride around gate at the top.

It was showing major signs of water damage last time I went over 3 weeks ago. Heavily rutted and rocks all over the track.

Much more than it was a few months ago.

Looked like a few recent repairs to me when I was through last week, track was mint, depending on your definition of a rut and rock that is There were some wash outs and small rocks here and there, but nothing to write home about.

Hi MXNUT and Tazz, thanks for the info, that's most helpful. We have an Australian guest to take exploring and this track will be new to him.

Ha ha, D'Urville Island is it

I came over it today.
Loose and Rocky is how I'd describe it. I'd forgotten how steep it is going down the Nelson side
About my limit, comfort wise, loaded up on the 800

Can't say - it's a secret! (but we may or may not have chartered a barge to pick us up from French Pass...)

Must have been just after the last big dump of rain that I went. Maybe that's the best time to go.

The secret's out...
