Day 2 - after a nice gravel ride out to where the Kaimanawa horses are corralled we stopped by this river crossing to watch another group have some fun.
Who do you recognise in these photos?

more awesome riding and scenery we stopped to fix a couple of flats. Not a bad view from everywhere!
Good to see lots of women getting stuck in with their bikes too. I found a catapult loitering in the lunch stop and with a mod from my wolfman I was armed and dangerous. But no danger to the bottle I was trying to hit

The lunch stop was a historic place, I heard a tale about a local that met his demise in this hut...
Then onto more cool tracks and roads to the dam

we did a cool off-road too but just some vid of that to come.
Day 3
As we were heading off we were lucky to be able to have a quick look through the Singaporean Army's compound. They have shipped their gear and people over for some heavy duty exercises. Then it was off to the desert via an airstrip.

the ride across the desert was cool. Very cool. There's a swift ford crossing straight up and one BMW who shall remain nameless gave the bike a jolly good clean here.
Awesome to ride to the fort and beyond to the Gates of Morder.
Hardcore Biker
did I say this place was cool? It was darn cool riding here. Great job Linda riding to the fort!

it took us longer than expected to get to the fort - Off Limits did a fab job of pushing us to, and beyond our limits, everyone got help they needed to get their bikes through.
Here are the girls all looking awesome and after we rode to the area they filmed the Gates of Mordor it was a good ride back through sand. Er, on the DR it was good that is!
You did a great job Off Limits - I loved it to bits. Thanks!
Also very cool to meet up with some adv mates, and meet some new ones!

Jeez, Those pics bring back memories of the 3 years I spent there with the green machine. I recognize most of those locations.
That "Fort" is one of a few mockups that the special forces use to practice in before going to where the real thing is and doing their job.
Just out of interest, The Team of US Navy Seals that took out Bin Laden did their practising in Waiouru at a mockup of the compound where he was hiding.
COP, "Ive been waiting to catch you all day"

This was a great ride - hard work for me, but a great ride none the less. When you needed help, it was there. I'm relatively new to adventure riding, and the support and encouragement was second to none! Can't wait until the next one.

Great pictures guys...um....girls. Good stuff. That's certainly an awesome area. Parts of it are like being on a different planet.

an excellent ride - superb organisation - sufficient challenge for this old fart of modest ability to be satisfying - God willing I plan on doing it again next year!
PS - take my hat off to those on the large oil head GS's even the F800's were a handful for some in the conditions
