Its an easy mistake to make Nic, as the South Island is a long skinny bugger they gave it two ends

They could have called them "The Top" and "The Bottom" but ohhhh no, that would be to much wurk

Sooner the date is set the sooner I book my flight, I am keen to to the northern part of the island.
The only thing I have to remember to go easy on that head ache in a bottle you lot sell as beer

How much more challenging would this be going the other way? I reckon harder especially the hill at the end that we go down and the bouldery creek bit we go down towards that hut.

food for thought, but I'll be their no matter what the dates are.

The "Dust Devils" (a CHC bunch of adventure riders) had a trip in reverse not long after we went through this year, and upon enquiring about the climb up the ridge you mention (and which I thought would be the hardest part, too) the reply was that it was no bother at all. I'm surprised, but pleased. No comment about the bouldery creek, but they all got through OK on a variety of bikes and experience..

I'd reckon it's not set until it's on the db1k website and it's still in 2012 mode so don't be getting confused those of you who think we're serious here!
I'll change my signature again with the new date when it's set too.

The bottom of the T in Dusty is about where my sister and law comes from. Some fast gravel roads over there.
