Thursday or Friday is good for me

Thursday is really the only day I can do it too.

Yes there is. LHS just where the dirt starts, it's like a proper road sign.

Edit: D'oh! Not only did I miss Topo's post, I also missed Nordie's re-post!!

You'd think they could spell it proper.

If we got pulled up, could we argue on a technicality?

PS Speaking of spelling; it's "permanent".

So did you boys obey the sign or did your rebelious streak kick in.....

Lovely summer weather at the Maungatapu Saddle, aka "125 2T vs. the big thumpers"

Nice arse?! In the fog you thought no-one could see you, eh? Pervs.

Enjoying a coffee out of the rain:

Back where we started:

Never had so much grief in the Heringa Stream, nor any trouble at all getting back out the shallow side. Redline's there for a reason, right? Thanks for the assist, topo! Maybe next time I'll remember to carry 10kg less fuel, too.

Ta for the blast on the wee KDX, zerax, she's a pile of fun, will be awesome on the DB1K SBC.

Hey WW The pics only come up as lil ones.
Was a good blast aye. Good meeting Colliedog again after 25years. Man I'm glad I didn't try that river crossing- we'd still be pushing it out.
