Get an electric chainsaw and 20 batteries

Most stuff I'd get out the chainsaw for, I now use the pruning saw.

It's cool when you do all the work and can get through.

hmmm. Maybe a De Walt and a second Motobatt on the bike with the juicy-as AT alternator keeping the charge up...

Hmmm...

They do a 3AH battery for my B&D...

But I'd need to get another charger.

Tony and I are meeting at 10.30 at the Waikanae coffee kiosk and heading up to Odlins Rd then through to Staglands for lunch and then (provided Bugs has cleared the entrance) in at Karapoti and up to the start of the Rock Garden.

All are welcome to join us but be warned that both tracks are at the challenging end of the spectrum.

We're getting an early start

Meeting at bottom on Maungy Hill Rd at 8

Heading through to Karapoti then up to watch the buckets at Kaitoke.

No plans on route home at this stage. Make it up as we go

I'm tidying wiring so won't be there.

Then doing some work in an attempt to get Mandy's old scooter back up & running. Have a good one. Steve

I've got lots of stuff to do tomorrow so can't make it either, but if I do get out for a quick ride I might stop by Steve.

a peaceful little ride up Odlins...

Nice vid, Mark...I can relate to your difficulties. Had to abandon the AT half way along that pylon track that you climb up to from Featherston... me and a mate went 2 up on his XLR 250 to get through to the end of the track overlooking Kaitoke/Pakuratahi. Had to recover my son's mountain bike from yesterday. I'm f*cked from the last three days. Its been awesome.
