Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[NordieBoy]

So...

Wassup for this weekend?

We're having a BBQ at home Sunday from 4pm so I need to be back then and anyone that follows me home gets fed as well

[JATZ]

That one has to be done sometime soon

Maybe Sun aye......

I really should do the stucco where I moved the window a couple of months ago, but.......

I have re-built FRONT shocks to test out

Parapara lookout

Barrons flat

Tuamawiwiwiwi and onto the beach

You lot are going to have to start sharing more. I have a vague suspicion about where the first one is but no idea about the rest.

Anyone been into Lake Otuhie?

Sounds like an excuse for a rideout. (took a while to find it on a map too)

BTW never been there, must fix that

[Underground]

We dont actually have any good rides , we just make shit up and then nordie does a photoshop thing

[warewolf]

I need some advice

Don't run with scissors.

Be good to your mother.

Don't spend it all at once.

If the wind changes, you'll stay that way.

Take the red pill.

Or out to the Tuamawiwiwiwi and onto the beach...

The Turimawiwi is the last ford, after the Anatori, on the way south to the Kahurangi lighthouse.

Google Earth shows the lighthouse and hut area, and Big River, quite well. The lighthouse itself is photographed from above, so is difficult to see, but casts a good shadow. If you lower the eye height and tilt the view for a fly-by, the seaside cliffs are presented well... but the lighthouse has no height!!

East Takaka Rd is worth doing... once. Totaranui Road... which might make a half-decent overnighter for the top-o-the-south crew.

Anyone been into Lake Otuhie?

Yes; my last few Easters (and likely many more to come) were spent camped at Sandhills Creek. There's caves in them thar hills! Kayaking up to the lake is possible when the creek has a good water level. The lake is on private property AFAIK and the farm roads are not worth the trouble of arranging access, especially compared to the road around Whanganui Inlet and the section from the Anatori to the Turimawiwi. Some rock climbing up towards the lake, routes mostly put up by cavers having a day off. See the back of the Paynes guide.

Was having issues today wondering where to go for a ride, and couldn't think of anywhere i hadn't been recently. Reading the last few threads there are many many places left to explore, although might just head over Poriko down into the lake to test me new front tyre on slippery downhill. Then Braburn and lunch in Murch.

And then back through them again on the way home.

Was going to go back through Poriko but did maruia track for the first time,nice ride. Gave new tyre a good test on dry roads ,wet roads, gravel, mud ,thick snow, ice and rocks. Never fell off so it was a good choice. Couldn't believe the snow up there and I thought it was summer.

Ahh - got it now.

This is sounding more and more interesting. Might have to load the bike up and go for a ride one day. Anybody who rides wanna try rock climbing? I need an anchor to belay me thought, we often have to tie wifey to the ground.
