When we talked to the Molesworth ranger last time we were through there they were getting concerned, but that was prior to the rain we had a couple of weeks back.

Just rang DOC South Marlborough. Lady had not heard anything about it not opening. Proceed as planed and I'll ring them again on Thursday to double check. If anybody has any other more local contacts it might be worth a call.

Can I pm my cell number to someone, as we are leaving Wgtn early Thur morning, and could they let us know by text if it's not going to open?

Don't know where you get your forcasts from but both Metvuw and Metservice have Sat as a rain free day. Looking good for remainder of week too so hopefully not to slippery for us big pig riders.
