Swt as, put a date up and we'll all come down and get it sorted. If everyone who's been going down has a bit of notice plenty should turn up. Last time I was there, every man and his dog was there, quads (one missing a wheel lol), 4x4's you name it.

I'll be in for a working bee.
Maybe post on NZ 4x4 assoc website also? I saw they had a couple of maintenance day events posted on their website for the Maratoto/wires area earlier this year.

I would be keen to come down and help too.

I've done a bit of looking at the trail on ride reports and I think I may not even take my bike with me. It looks and sounds very hard!!

Is this track just open to anyone who thinks they're good enough to make it?

Its not that bad. Its good fun. If you can handle riverhead ok you'll be fine.

Would a 3 tonne digger be of any help Chris? Its 1530mm wide(Komatsu PC30) I grew allergic to shovels a long time ago. Happy to help.(Before Burt Munroe tho)

A digger would be great but the access is probably impossible. Thankyou for the offer though! How does Labour day, 26th October sound? Seems fitting to have a days manual labour on labour day??

**cheese** · 23rd September 2009, 09:34

I think that a digger would help in a few spots?

Theres a bunch of about 5 guys who live in the valley who ride up there, Plus a 4x4 guy with a 12 tonne Hitachi. he was up there for a week last spring.
I will see them this weekend and see what they are keen to do. they have got the resources right there on the spot. -BBQ included.
Im not on here a lot lately- so dont let it happen without me, slip me a PM so it comes thru with my emails.
