Attached (hopefully) is the plan for the next trip away. Where it's not obvious, the route is back tracks and trails. The lads down south will know what we plan.
The question is: -
Does anyone out there want a trip report or has it all been done to death already and I should just relax and forget about it? I ask simply because I'll make rather more use of the camera if the answer is in the affirmative.

Yes, do a report.
I'll be down there around the same time at Bannockburn bike week (www.bikeweeknz.com)
Do you have more detail about the roads/tracks for Jan 30, 31st and Feb 3rd?

I'd like to do a similar trip soonish, so yes, trip report would be great. Not just your photos, but also your eloquent prose....

Screw the pic rules here, just post up on ADV.
...& yes, take lots of pics & do a ride report. If you can't be arsed with a blow by blow account just select a handful of your very best shots & put them up.
Cheers

That is precisely my point. Consequently the response surprises me.

That's the plan. I think the photo restrictions on KB make putting some effort into photography a bit of a waste of time. This is a site set up for communication where ADVRider is better suited to presentation.
Oh well, It looks like I'm committed then but it will be on ADVRider with a link here - so just a click away. As Jamie points out, it can't be anything like the last one though.

I asked a very similar question on here b4 I went stateside with Betty, got a couple o interested responses, then no-one noticed when I did not post any further!!
Interest? Chatter maybe??

I noticed, but then I was able to follow your trip by other means.
Actually, I have a surreptitious motive. You know that I rewrote the last one to try selling it as an e-book, well I wondered if this could become a final chapter so to speak.

Well people, it's under way over here:-
http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=862557
I'm doing it over on ADVrider because most of the photos are landscapes and they need some size to be worth anything at all.
At current pace it will take me another week to complete it so there's no hurry to visit - hope it's what you had in mind.
