Nice one guys

If you get a chance, the ride down to Haast is fantastic and if you can get down to Te Anau the ride up to Milford sound is just jaw dropping.

MagicFairy and I got back from a lazy camping trip in the Nelson area.
My back injury has come back with bells on and wasn't able to do much riding.

Did managed to test out our new camping cooking gear and play how much can I fit on a GS thou

Hi Jim hope your back comes right ASAP. You are right the South Island is a neat place to ride having just had 10 days down there over Xmas
But have any of you been down there in the snow? The scenery looks even more spectacular. I have been down there and hired a Camper in the middle of winter and enjoyed it.
Is anyone interested in a winter ride I was thinking of having a look around the Mount Hutt area. There is good accomodation at a place called Pudding Hill and I was thinking of a day ride up to Lake Heron. I think its height is around 2000 Mtrs depends on the weather alot but plenty of other places to go around there. If I read the sign correctly the last time I went through Rainbow you can get the key to go through there during the off season as well.
Any Interest I may even be able to talk Cathy into bringing the Suzuki 4 X 4 as a support vehicle.

Hmmmmmm.........

**junkmanjoe** · 30th January 2010, 18:28

ok ive made my vid,, now just need to work out how to get it on here...

**junkmanjoe** · 30th January 2010, 18:53

lets try this.........

OK.
Dave and my self had a great time.

thanks heaps to jatz, and crazyfrog.

crazyfrog borrowed my camera and raced ahead to snap us on the roads...but i think he raced ahead a bit to far and we didnt see him for the rest of our trip..

its no mean feat to ride both them roads in one day..
the south island is BIG...

, high mountains.. compared to what we have up here,, when i came back over the tuckers on monday night,,, i thought it was a little small and flat.......

yea we had a bit of rain,, so out came my bright yellows...
James said to me have a go, going up the side of the mountain....
yea why not...
its steeper then it looks in the vid, but i had a ball...
we didnt do a bit of the side tracks, but this time round i wanted to see places we didnt last time.

the run to the end of the road north of west port, wasn't my best idea..

going over the ranges i blew a head light fuse,,,very dark,,
on way back, was darker, raining and a few butt clenching rear wheel lock ups...

we all just wanted to get back to camp safely..

over all just over 2000kms for me from home to home, i reaily enjoyed what iv seen, the roads ive riden, and the company i traveled with.

paladin.. ( dave ).
top bloke to travel with,
his new bike runs sweet, thanks dave..

Jatz ( James )
any time any where il travel behind you....because we couldnt keep up to pass...
thanks mate..

Crazyfrog.
a pleaser to meet you, sorry we didnt get to have a better chat..
next time aye..

i wrote a full ride report on ADV for the world to read.
