you could add in the Lake Ferry to Whangaimoana bit - although you might need to set up a whale rescue squad

Oronorongo to White Rock would be an awesome day ride (lunch at the Lake Ferry Pub? - afternoon tea/perv at Toppy's)

Top idea that man!!!!!!!!

I think Joe and I could organise that for the not too distant future via the respective land owners we have dealt with!!!

I think we'd arrive at Toppys LATE afternoon, you know what its been like thru Orongorongo both times(!) - what time do they close? Be a shame to miss out on ending the day with nice coffee etc!

Regrouping under the Cape Paliser lighthouse before entering the private land.

Pampa's bike looking purposeful

The final descent at the end of the private land. There will be more photo's of this spot no doubt, possibly featuring me :slap: This was really steep and thick gravel.

your lucky, as my camera decided most of my pics were not to be, as i did take a pic of your self on that section...
the tracks never look as step on film as in person.
