    A lightning raid on the Denniston Plateau


    Oh, what fuel rang would be needed?

    I may need to carry a 5L with me.

    Last time I made it from Reefton ,over the plateau to westyport and back round the highway to Murch on about 12L or less than 200km of range .
    The tank ran dry on the bridge into Murch and I coasted to the pumps without needing the brakes to stop
    9am Richmond .... maybe I can do this from home and back in one day, better put the swingarm back on and change that tyre.

    Oh, and allow a bit of gas to ride that sealed bit from Denniston down to the coast and back ...be silly not to ride up and down that hill.

    Feels just like someone has punched a nail into my back just above where it went 2 weeks ago.

    It's got 36hrs to come right, or else

    I'm pretty certain you can get to Bluff, but you gotta be pretty clever

    Checked distances - servo in Murch to top Denniston incline is 65 kms add 20kms for the round trip up Mt Rochfort so 150 kms return to Murch - I will have a couple of litres in a can as well - see you in the morning.

    We'll count down there as Top of the South so you can put a tag there too.
