    Good comment re spark arrestors, in conjunction with each bike carrying a fire extinguisher. One of the forestry routes is near major forest fire event just before Xmas. They have had rain since but a couple of days of Norwest will make the locals real nervous again.

    Why yes, yes it is.
    If you are looking at this DB2011 map it's in the red bit.

    To be honest I've never really had to use one in anger. I've done one CCA (08) but could get away with following others for most of it and we followed an old one around Banks Peninsular but I could have guessed most of the route before leaving home. Neither of these were really challenging. The same goes for the GPS files. I won't be bothering with a roll chart or the GPS for the dusty - I know the route rather well know. I'm hanging out for somebody to make something up so that I can get really stuck into it .

    Not sure what you fella's are worried about. I got big blue down there without too much hassle and last time I checked I'm not David Knight.

    2 Spare Beds in Alex

    Hi guys. Couple of people no longer need their beds in Alex. If anybody is still after a bed at the motor camp let me know.

    Cheers R

    Sounds like a challenge - yeah would be keen on an orienteering type thing, you could have GPS co-ords as your stations, take a wee bit of organising but I am sure we (read TA with assistance probably) can get something together to say thanks for all the work on the DB1ks

    I'll try and give you a call tonight. Basically you turn up with some money, your roll chart in a holder, and you organise your accomidation in Fairlie. There is one spare bed in Alex if you want it. Have a look at my website and the first post for more details.
