East Wairarapa Coast Explorer: 2 days of madness

**junkmanjoe** · 7th June 2010, 19:02

....Ladies and gentlemen.....

ive been wondering about this for a while now, and thinking of putting a plan together.

details are under wraps for now... still got a bit more to arrange.

im looking for interest in this event from you adventure riders.

will be two days of as much coast riding and as close to the sea as I can get us.
on beach tracks, gravel seal and grass.....
yes you will more than likely get stuck, and we may even have to build our own crossings to get through.. but thats the adventure of it.

im working with the use of school grounds for camping and a meal in the hall for the Saturday night at the half way point. and possible Friday night camping and a meal at the school also, for travelers coming to the ride.
or possible scouts den.

the date I'm working on is the long weekend of 23rd-24th 25th October, Labour weekend

so please let me know if this is up your alley.
open to all New Zealand riders..
Final details are to be worked out.

ive added a calendar to keep a track of numbers..

okies, track was in great condition all the way around. stunning views as all ways.

so we rode all way round to the boundary gate, was locked but was expected to be.

we went to have a look at the joining section between farm stations. sadly what we found was not good news, a large section of the track has fallen 300 odd feet to the sea below...

in this pic you can see the track on the face of the hill, large section missing about center pic..
bugger, there is only about 2 km on the other side of this hill and we would have made it through to next farm..

never fear, on to next farm for joining access,,

we have all ready filled day 1 of the weekend, and now just sorting out day 2, we have 3-4 coast options available so never fear you will have a blast..

next up date soon.
