Just back from Poronui We have 16 thousand acres to be enjoying. This ride we will take in a very small amount of these lands.

Will be a mix of stream crossings/forestry roads/beech forests/grazing and tussock lands/high hilltop rides(challenge sections of our ride) large rock to be clambering over and more...............................

Register your interest to me prior to Friday of this week for last deadline bookings.
PM me direct if you are interested and how many are interested.

We will be at Poronui until approx 3pm and then we will head over to take a last blast over a forest deviation and thru Whirinaki.

Sat night can be back to Taupo - suggested accomm could be Stag Park Diner or Taupo Top 10.
If not wishing to take in TUKINO on the sun mng on the way home then exit strategy on the sat night.

There will be a ride fee/land access for this ride.
This ride is over private lands and we will travel along Taharua River which meets with the mighty Mohaka.

Our hosts will provide a WORKMANS lunch also on the completion of our ride.

ALL WISHING TO ATTEND THIS RIDE MUST CONFIRM DIRECTLY WITH ME as there will be a sign on and registration prior to attending this ride along with our liability form - these are requirements from Poronui also. We are looking to play this straight with out hosts, as Sept when STAG hunt season has finished we will again utilise this property and there will be many more challenge sections. You will need nobbs if attending this ride over the Sept season. Sept ride will take us higher up into the Taharua Valley hills and into the deer gaming blocks. The big stags at the moment will be pushing thru fences in the event of motorbike noise. So rollll on Sept.

This is a very first at this property and 16 thousand acres wow, hundreds of tracks and many more still to be mapped and used.

Our very first arrival Ford crossings

I cannot believe we are allowed to explore these lands. They are so very well maintained and also they are very diverse with what they do on this property. From horse riding/trout fishing/big game hunting/specialised animal breeding. Wow 16 thou acres. Magic. Poronui is also well off the main highway. You see those big hills but could not imagine how fantastic it is thru here.

We will be using walkie talkies as the tracks are numerous and we have only tapped into a small portion for this run. We will build on this run and will need to go over again and spend another day and do more tracks. The route we are riding this time alters as you ride thru the lands. They also have bee keepers that have off loaded 1000 hives onto the land as the bees like the manuka to which there is a huge amount of. They are just being collected and taken off now. There is also a SAFARI camp that is located down by the MOHAKA River and we may get to go there for a break stop also. Another hut on the property is called RED HUT and sleeps four also. We will be allowed that periodically also. This is going to offer huge potential to us that enjoy a variety of terrain to cross over. This ride takes you high up in those hills also and the views are awsome. Pumice tracks are awsome both summer and winter to ride over and suitable for bikes WITHOUT nobbs on also. Excellent traction and there are NO wash outs on this property also.

You should see if you South people can come up for the SEPT GAME route. This route can only be done once deer/stag hunt is finished. It will take you even further up into those hills into the big hunt blocks. It will have many more technical tracks than what we will do this time. Far more forestry based and much higher into to those hills. So for Sept we will run two routes. I will post up more pics maybe next couple days.

When we are able to check out the Game Blocks I will mail you pics of this also.

Poronui like us dual purpose riders that take in our environs, and they find us in fitting with their principals also. So wow for us. A Play Block of land.

Now twice per year also. Fantastic.

Thanks for the NICE comment.
I am always on the look out for much more of this, and know there must be other places for us to explore.

Riding around The Corner we come across WHY ARE WE STUCK????

This 4 x 4 low to the ground and was stuck solid

Our bikes parked up and we pushed the car backwards

We were wondering why the boys were taking so long????

thanks it is always a compromise with an adv bike but jim and tim enjoy the F800's as much as they enjoy our KTM fleet

we love long distance riding and then of course the explore that comes with......................

our ktm's are not such a nice comfort ride to get here but the F800 pefect for the long travel and very good over pumice also

great having pumice tracks to ride over can be ridden winter and summer as it drains really welll

**MXNUT** · 14th February 2012, 16:49
