Did they cry?

**NordieBoy** · 14th January 2014, 18:23

Only when one fell into a gorse bush on the way up to the house.
Man, that's overgrown there!

Speaking of gorse and overgrown, you should see that knarly bit beside the mtb(spit) downhill track up Ben nevis way. Almost impassable. Made me turn back last week even going down hill.

A mission up there is due and the right branch must be really bad now too. Last time a slip made me turn back and lots of it was like riding in a tunnel. River crossings were good though.

My rear tyre is bald enough now that the right branch should be fun.
The last excursion up there with Umo & Froggy was interesting. We found an (almost) loop, (almost) tunnels and (almost) drowned a KTM...

Thanks for the guided tour, it was great to catchup

You guys seen this? http://www.nzfwda.org.nz/news/350

DOC are opening up the Severn-Sedgemere route through Molesworth to public vehicle access Jan/Feb.

We're planning to come down late Mar so will miss out but it looks like an interesting track.

Cheers
