Excellent guys.

So anyone have anywhere they are interested in or want to revisit that we can go check out in similar fashion? Maybe 3 or 4 weeks time? I'd like to go more often but don't want (or can't afford) to over do it, and then there's my partners weekend plans involving me to consider too.

There's many roads out there, seen quite a few, still lots I haven't.
I'm a bit used to just following Plug and/or cooneyr on their adventures, very good at going the extra mile with finding and sorting private land access from time to time too they were/are.

last year when we did the ride over to akaroa there was that challenge bit that a few of us went up - i wouldnt mind trying that again to see if i can make it without coming off this time. no idea where it was but would be good to include as an option if we go out that way again

mental note... cynna likes the hard stuff better suited to standing up while on to mid/small sized bikes with knobs on.

I know a couple out there, we passed the top of both of them yesterday. Fairly sure the one you're thinking of is the Robinsons bay Stock route.

and you know why the cows where grumpy......................they got calf's with them...never mess with a mum cow with her baby beside her.....

Yep TA your on the money that was Robinsons Bay stock track. If you like that you should come back down Takamatua Stock track. Both of them are on my website.

For the man asking about which maps I have in my gps.... the Auto Routing ones I am currently using which include some Topo info are from here.
Last update was in May.
