any consolation mate she was raining most of the ride with the occasionally heavy as fook down pour, i had to go faster to get the water beads off the visor:Punk: went through the slip on old kawhia rd and forgot about the big arse rutt going cross ways:shit: hit it from about 60klms and slowing under full lock up :blink: the wonderful XR cartridge front end soaked it up:Punk: fark it was a bucket load of wet fun, i just sprayed the gear so was nice and dry underneath.
Best thing about the rain was it kept the traffic right down:scooter:
Gonna contact the council next week and try and sort some access, :innocent:good fishing access by bike and i'l be farked if im gonna walk that far for a fish.

some one up at your bach to bro.

Erosion has been a concern at Aotea for a long time.The bar changed in a storm in the '70's,and tidal flow cut into the land.Opposite my bike here was a friends bach,behind the bach you climbed a hill to get over to the beach.The house is long gone (he burnt it) and this part of the beach has been reclaimed.The second shot (1st with how it loaded) is 180 degrees and is the section I owned and put a caravan on.They have every right to be concerned about erosion.

[dino3310]

I thought this wasnt so straight forward as it seemed..... no beach access full stop

the council just protecting the dunes apparently the beach was A O K just tossers fucking with the dunes but then add the land owner to the mix and walla no access to all

[dino3310]

Yep, i had seen this in February on Carys Ride.

Just means that we will have to go there and back at low tide from the Kawhia end of the beach.

after the boom and now bust of house purchases at Aotea, Kawhia and Raglan a couple of years ago, I doubt whether there will be a demand for $250000 sections out there any time soon. we have been looking at beach houses at Raglan, and have come to the conclusion they are almost all overpriced rundown shit boxes. Kawhia and Aotea is the same - but further away (90kms from my place to Kawhia). It is actually cheaper at the Mount at the moment! (and same distance/a better road/hotter chicks).

They can't stop you riding on the beach, and I doubt whether access everywhere is restricted. If not Aotea, certainly Ruapuke was easy access when I was there 4 weeks ago - we took a couple of 4 wheelers through the creek track access. Well I didn't, I landed on the beach - some mates took the bikes.

[dino3310]

yeah there are some over priced shiters alright. most of the sections are cut up ready for sale on mautuktea/sulby Drive(aotea) a few flash houses gone up too (someones buyin them).
I only head out there for the beach fishing, its great pulling up on the bike at your spot then chucking a line in.
would be great to have some legal access between te akau and the port for fishing.
The only prob i have with the mount is you gotta share it with 50,000 other tourists in summer, born and bred over there so the peace and tranquility of some of these west coast beaches suit me to a tee, only prob is the tua tuas and fishing aint no where as good as the east coast:Punk:

Wonder if the locals have keys...
my mate has a house over there, he aint the kind to let a gate get in the way!
Also boat access around the corner that needs a key, i think he has one for that gate.
Blue tounge dragon key required i say! or i run it down with my Pajero!

[dino3310]

yeah some locals got keys incase of emergency(so they say but we know its so they can use the access)

[dino3310]

yeah that boat access is a funny one, its on public/council land but the access is thru private, people ive talked to say that use it all the time no worries, but i went to have a looksey and the fucker was locked!
