Karapoti Rock Garden/Devils Staircase

I'm starting to wonder about this - with all these prophets of doom floating around...

The mangatooks are very very slippery at the moment - worse that last week by a significant margin.

Plenty of mud on ground = plenty of mud in undies

I'm piking off work all day wednesday for a ride around there. I'll see if I can do some exploring.. I'll make sure to bring the still, and video cam (maybe even the helmet cam if it arrives in time ;p)

Should give us a good idea of what's in store..

I'm afraid I might get mud on my petticoat so I am going to bail....

bah ;p Tim and I will prevail... right ?

. . . Sunlight is an amazing thing.

Lots of that area never sees sunlight. Do take a rope & I'm serious about the warm clothes & walking shoes. Take a mini pump so you can let down your tyres & if you make it to the top you can pump them up again.
Have fun

2 mite b 2 few, let us know how you get on tomorrow, but I'm thinking a postponement until others can grow the necessary equipment or we get a bit of a dry spell. If everyone agrees, how about we meet at Queensgate 11:30 for a latte, I saw a hell blouse in the window at Glasson's

Will do.. heading out with buggsubique tomorrow. If we pester him enough he'll hit the staircase as soon as he has some free time as well.

I definately have to postpone (some things are best left unexplained, especially for the weak of stomach). Some of the boys are going for a Wairarapa Adventure on the bigger bikes, but I'll still be in recovery mode.
Hope to be back on this idea in a few weeks. Sorry.
