Looking at doing some "research" on distances/times/accessability of some tracks for possible inclusion in the "Tasman Dust Buster".

Along the lines of...
Nelson
Richmond
Brightwater
Wairoa Gorge
Boundary Road/Ben Nevis
Wairoa Gorge
Pig Valley
Church Valley
Wakefield
Dovedale Hill
Jacobs Ladder
Rosedale Hill
Upper Moutere
Old Coach Rd
Motueka (Fuel?)
Mt Campbell (gate at bottom needs permission so may not include this - yet)
Mot Valley West Bank
Mt Arthur
Jacobs Ladder
Sunday Creek
Panic Mac Rd
Spooners Lookout
Tapawera/Baton Rd
Glenrae Rd
Fairhall Rd
Tadmor Bushend Rd
Tapawera
Spooners
Wakefield
Brightwater
Richmond
Nelson

The only non-public-roads bits look to be parts of Old Coach Road and Panic Mac to Spooners.

I may get lost (several times) so anyone that comes along does so at their own risk

[Padmei]

when are you looking at doing this?

[NordieBoy]

This weekend.
Sat or Sunday.

Missing bits out is fine.
I really want to check out Sunday Creek to Spooners and Glenrae Road to Tadmor Bushend Road.

[topo]

If you miss any roads out i'll be keen as next weekend
I was also thinking of doing a mission up the cobb valley sometime soon if anyone's interested.

[NordieBoy]

Maybe a smaller loop this weekend and a bigger one next?
Try and get permission for Mt Campbell for next?

[Underground]

mmm starting to get interested

[Padmei]

Shorter one always good for me.
+1 on Cobb at some stage.

Went up Mt Duppa (duffa?) yesterday. Great ride 15mins from home. Not good going riding with 300ks of gas used already - had to turn back to get some gas.

[topo]

You clearly have issues if your worried about gas and you've ONLY done 300km

[NordieBoy]

Unless it's also 300km's back

[JATZ]

Cobb sounds good 2 me, just not this w/end, maybe a quick spin through barons flat at the same time ?

Tapawera/Baton Rd
Glenrae Rd
Fairhall Rd
Tadmor Bushend Rd
Tapawera

Nordie, this bit thru Glenrae, Fairhall Rds is a forestry block, I've ridden it before but not sure if "public access" is okay. You gotta ride thru the forestry camp just past Tapawera and wander around a bit to find the entrance to the track up onto Hollands road. It also passes thru a small section of farm, maybe 500m at the Fairhall Rd (Tadmor end) but you have to go thru a farm gate just before the farmhouse near the road end. Possibly be aware of restricted access during lambing time. Yeah, it's a good fun piece of dirt, but the logging roads go everywhere, be prepared to take a couple of wrong turns. And there's bunnies and hares everywhere, good fun to chase!
I'd love to join ya but I've gotta work (in the afternoon) both Sat and Sund. Maybe I could venture out in the morn...
