I'll put a few up. (any rumours of a Scrambler "stuck" on Mohaka beach, are totally wrong. It was just resting).

Jamie's and Julies place was a great meeting point, and I have learn't that Poodle's are quite cool dog.

Saturday was "Te Urewera Time".

A pensive Kanny headed up the valley.

Road kill grows large up there.

The local freight company has fallen on tough times.

A rest stop just prior to the lake.

Small corner segment of Waikaremoana.

A small Volty crosses the falls.....

and around the bluff.

Mohaka accom.

A big thumbs up to everyone on the ride, you all made it a great 'adventure'!!! Couldn't have asked for a better crew.

And most well done goes to Clint, just majic roads and planned well, wot more does a weekend need?

I really look forward to the next time we all ride together again, may it be soon!!

Mohaka may be a small settlement, but is worth a look.

Mohaka river, upstream 1km from the mouth. (ain't no fish in deem deer waters).

Its not "bogged" until the the swingarm is out of view.

"Tally Ho"! Clints sheep strike count.

Sunset over the settlement.

Sunday saw us had us heading inland towards the Maungaharuru Range, and out towards Tarwera, where me and Kanny parted company from the group and headed for Hamilton.
Great weekend.

Blue sky days. Refreshing swims. And Jamie on Life Guard Duty.

Adv riding is dull dull dull.
