2009 South Island KB Rally

aint bringin no Turkey Cream.

Yeah coz ya drunk it already by the sound of things

So I thought I read somewhere that there was issues with the road from Jackson to Moana?? Can anyone confirm if this is the case or not. Will go that way to avoid the gravel if its all good rather than going to Greymouth

On the latest topomap it shows as being sealed through from Jacksons to Stillwater, and from Ngahere to Lake Haupiri, gravel from there to Kopara. I think I'll head via Moana to Blackball for a look around and see who's still hanging around at the pub after lunch, haven't been there since I went to look at my great grandfathers house after he died many, many, many years ago

Jacksons to Stillwater is sealed, just be aware the route has turn-offs ... don't take the right turn-off ... and you may end up in strange locations. It IS sign-posted though. But read the map first ...

Already did that the last time I went there but in my defence it was in the dark, only went as far as Te Kinga though so wasn't sure if it was sealed from there on.

Haven't drink Goin sice Ages ago. Champers chasers and ....oh my god. Anyhoo... your statement was wierd.

[cruza]

Yeah I have ridden the arthurs gravel not to bad. We are looking at taking the longer but no gravel route if possible. Might just have to toughen up and do the gravel run otherwise

just turn off at jacksons, thru to brunner- stillwater, up to nelson creek and thru to kopara that way, all sealed to a fair way past nelson creek, then a good hard packed gravel road ( better than arthurs pass road works). You'll be sweet safe ride.

[Gareth51]

All packed and ready for the road,see ya tomorrow

[Ghost_Bullet]

Gee you are advanced, it is now today, and I aint even started packin at all.

[scumdog]

Overcast but not raining here in Methven, just about to pack the bikes and head off.

Left Riviera of the South yesterday in blazing sunshine, had to stop in Dunners to put jerseys on, rain on the Kilmog then warmer and o'cast but no rain until 10km from Methven.

We'll fill-up @ Springfield and then again at Greymouth.

See y'all @ Kopara if not before
