East Wairarapa Coast Explorer: 2 days of madness

[offrd]

WOW! now that is-AWESOME

[junkmanjoe]

its a bit of a bitch that section on track fell off the hill like that....
such a great coast line,

would have tied in a large section of the wairarapa coast.. never mind, a small reroute,
in a couple weeks time we going to check out our next option..

looks like XR country

[Waihou Thumper]

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...

Could you 'go down' ? you know.....to the beach? at a low tide or any other time, from earlier on the track if there is one? I presume it is really rocky coastline....

[t3mp0r4ry nzr]

sounds promising! will there be a fee? (sorry if ive missed it)

hay mark. not really an option riding along the beach, just not possible to get over the small river, and yea theres some nasty big rocks down there, other problem with the beach is its very soft pebbles, so getting stuck all the time would not be to much fun.



at the end of this vid, can see the section of track we wanted to use, and the lower beach as well.. dont worry mate, we have a plan B

hi there at this stage, entry fee for both days is around $50. this covers station access and camp ground and meal. this price is to be confirmed.
we have one more coast station to have a chat to, and a look around the coast on his track to see if its big bike friendly.
