Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[JATZ]

.
I will at some stage buy a very cheap video camera to do point & film stuff as I prefer to watch that style of footage than helmetcam style. Unfortunately my old tape cassette video camera isn't compatible with any pcs yonger than 10 years

I have a video camera I could sell U cheap Padders. Records onto SD cards, and I think its been used twice only.
I think you'll like the colour too

Thank you my friend but i have to hold off any purchases till the new year as holidays are looming. I do have a longboard for sale on tme that would suit you very well jatz

[JATZ]

A long board? Hmmmm, haven't been for a surf since my youf .....
Probly won't fit on the bike though, it's bad enough carting a 6'6 fishing rod
You can grab the cam any time, see if it's what you want before committing

Nelson buy sell & exchange....

[Woodman]

I'll be in Nelson all this coming week. A pity it'll be on a road bike rather than an adventure bike, but I'd be open for beer at some stage.

I'm leaving here at 8:00 tomorrow morning so should be in Nelson around 5:00.

Doh, just remembered about this, the nelson forum has come alive again. Maybe next time sorry, or if I see you on the dusty taking pics, I'll stop and say gidday.

It's called "The Emporium" for a good reason...

Any Nelsonians keen for a ride somewhere on the 19/20/21st of Dec?
Was thinking Tinline/Mungatapu maybe up to Hori Bay?

Whats the dealo with access to these?

Could be keen for a evening ride to accommodate the 9-5'ers.

Figure I will also head up Golden Bay/Farewell Spit for a look one of the dates above, anything else I should be doing/visiting?

I won't commit as it tends to turn mental around that time.
Maunga is touch & go i think. Someone I know called the caretaker & got the Fulton Hogan boys to open the gate to let them thru during a work week. In the weekend the forest may be open again but there's logging close by.

Hori bay is open all the time.

Have you ridden around the Sounds? Titirangi bay on the Kenepuru Sound is a great ride as is anywhere in Golden bay.

Maungatapu seems too-hard, will leave that one till I am heading north will probably be with a group then and hence worth the effort to organise.

Hori Bay looks like a go-er then.

I have been up to visit Underground last trip I did but I did not venture much into the east side of the sounds, so I am definitely heading up there.
I will probably ferry across on the 19th and head up and camp at one of the DOC campsites up there.

Pete-blen - Those dunes look pretty fun, but a little out of the way and I ride sand/dunes plenty enough up north.

It's a neat ride out to Anatori if you do make it to Golden Bay. Much more to see than just the dunes.

Looking deeper into the future, we are sailing over the weekend before the DB1K. We were thinking about heading out Underground's way that night but I have just discovered that it is the season's 1st open weekend in the Clarence, so we are planning to go in there & camp Sat 12 Jan (weather permitting) If anyone else is keen keep in touch.

Cheers

Mystery of missing bike owner...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/n...ing-bike-owner

The green and grey Kawasaki KLE, about 450cc, was noticed by a truck driver who pulled over into the layby at the top of the hill to let traffic past. Mr McKenzie said the truck driver noticed skid marks on the road and looked down the bank from the cab of his truck where he noticed the bike some metres down in the bush.

Police, fire and ambulance attended the scene where they expected to find the rider of the bike, but found no one in the area. The bike was winched up the bank by the fire service and has now been towed away.

Mr McKenzie said it appeared the bike had been there no longer than overnight. Initial checks showed it had been in Wellington up to at least 5.20pm yesterday, according to city parking records

[madmartin]

Wellington parking tickets must be pretty steep when you get on a ferry, ride to the wangas and chuck it off!

I've been informed of a couple of tracks in Hira. One from the Teal to Race Track Rd which is a bit rutted at the bottom and another that ends up in the middle of Scout Rd and may need some bush bashing and work to make doable.

There's also this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvkb6IT8HsM) that I need to find the top end of so NordieBro can send the 4wd's down it to clear it out.


They have all existed in the past but may be a bit overgrown...

Wish there wasn't a fire danger thingy up there this weekend
