    Yea, don't worry about the lisp, it's just a bit of fun about your spelling.
    That is to say it's actually the Molesworth, Skippers Canyon, Lewis Pass and Hakataramea, but we knew what you meant.

    which one, moles or rainbow? Youll be fine on moles, one possible washout that may develop just south of the molesworth cobb cottage. Hard to know how much rain it will take to affect rainbow as there are a whole lot more sidecut fords in the scree mid section that have the potential for erosion with heavy waterflow. Peak summer traffic may keep it driveable tho.

    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    Most of that is a rocky base, so should be okay. It's how high the streams are up.



    As an alternative if the streams prove to be too high we can do Ocean Beach, or there are plenty of other places to go.
    IT'S JUST BETTER WHEN THERE'S TWINS INVOLVED..

    We did the Rainbow two days ago (XRV750, 93, fully loaded 500kg, two up), not so bad, the bits in the forest are a bit nasty in the rain with street tires (Anakee II) one fjord is a bit deep but the rest is fine we did it towards Hanmer. After that we did the Morls.... (Don't even try to write that don't want to .... again .... ) easy track and great views... all great and in the end of the day an amazing experience! But bloody SANDFLIES on that Moresworth, crazy car drivers.

    Glad you are enjoying our little bit of paradise.

    Great fun to read your posts. Fjord's tend to be a little bit deeper than fords and the water far more salty! Moresworth - almost there just change the r for an l, Molesworth.

    Cheers R
