Mt Altmarnoch ride 17/3/12

[Eddieb]

Ride time from the turn off 30 mins each way...

If it looks windy I wouldn't bother... yeasterday in
the valley was med wind... at the top it was gail force..

If yer end up on the gravel you have over shot the turn off by 10m
don't worry about the sign on the gate..the road looks like a drive
to the house but by passes it... 2 gates just passesd the house..

Eddie...I'm thinking I should join you on saturday for the Porika Rd / Braeburn track sections...

You're welcome, the more the merrier and it would be good to meet you.

How far distance wise do you reckon that 30 mins each way is? and does anyone have a GPS track of it?

Lists Mt Altimarloch but not Mt Horrible.
I thought the station was Black Birch Station?

Mt Horrible is/was near Timaru?

Free Open project GPS maps indicate there's also a Mt Horrible off the left of Tophouse road not far up from the bottom

4 or 5 kms each way....Its a hard one to estamate as the track is a zigzag
apart from the top section along the ridge..
