    Top half of South Island Adventure ride anyone??

    Anyone interested in or already planning some adventure riding in the top half of the South February (or possibly March) 2013?
    I am keen to do some rides but I need one or two riding companions for safety sake in the remote areas. So if you are in a similar situation let me know. Thanks.

    The areas I am keen to do are:
    -West Coast Denniston area.
    -Rainbow and Molesworth tracks.
    -Clarence river valley or similar in that area.
    -Possibly a bit in the Marlborough Sounds.
    I have some anual leave to use, so keen to get riding and don't have riding companions free or adventure capable.

    Moleswoth is a gravel road well worth a look though its big country.Rainbow is rougher at the moment.Was down south a week or so ago.On monday ot tuesday last week it was closed.On thursday we went through in a 4wd,it was raining ,streams had covered the road with gravel (soft gravel with water channels(complete with water) covered the road in three or four places,the fords were dirty ,very swift and hard to judge the depth,You coudnt walk them it was too swift.We got through but it was due to a good driver and a good 4wd.They have there own Bulldozer and charge every vehicle that goes through 25 for a car 15 for a bike,Theu ussually get the road open pretty fast
