    Indeed i did fill up there while PLUG poped in to the Canty Rides shop with a strange noise.
    It was a good run, a little windy on the top of the hill above the Okuku Pass and i broke a mirror when i fell over on another side excurson we did. The fords were mostly empty and the road a little rutted in places.
    Then we took the Waimak shingle roads back.
    I'll check the photos and post some stuff latter.

    ... if we told you that, then we would have to kill you ... may be, just may be ... after a few ph calls we might be able to cut across from Lees Valley into the back of Hawarden & on up to Lake Sumner ... a bit of Koha (if thats how its spelt) might be involved.
    ... you know it's a bit windy when you get passed by your own dust ...

    You guys are the men. Definatly let me know if you go to organise the Lees Valley to Lake Sumner via Hawaden trip. I'll even help with the koha if necessary.

    Well done guys. Oh hope you enjoyed the ride too.

    Cheers
