    I'm in, will bring my waders! Buller river flows look ok and dropping - should be able to squeeze in Mt Rochfort as well? and any other loops that anyone has?
    See you at 8.

    Happy New year - would have been good to see you - been a while? We have raft building equipment so should be ok.

    Great day - the river was lower than expected and other than the usual drizzle in Denniston blue skies and some of the best riding conditions - the track is in better shape than I can remember.

    I would have stopped for a chat when we passed you, I didn't pick that group as you

    Totally agree, there must have been some heavy 4X4 traffic that has packed down the track, the normally steep and very loose climb out from Mount William Stream was more packed than I've ever seen

    Glad to hear you struck great weather

    Talk soon mate

    Ok so if I do a spur of the moment ride down there in the next couple of days I shouldn't need any help over the Mackley?

    Water levels over the river were fine, a bit knarly getting back up the river bank heading for the Iron Bridge side. Things to watch out for: 4X4's hooning on the track, and the rock over hang as you turn right before the Iron Bridge, the road was blocked by a Rock Fall, happened about 1/2 hour before JC and I got there!

    Great ride, well worth the effort
