I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

That looks like it could be day trip-able if I trailered the DRZ to Hanmer (otherwise I wouldn't be able to walk for a week), or maybe head up in the morning and take the tent/get a house for the night.

Definately keen to give it a go while it's open, hopefully the 4wd dickheads won't go through when it's wet and fuck it for everybody.

I highly highly recommend getting an Airhawk cushion. They make a huge difference to your nether regions on long trips!

Just down the Molesworth then had a bit of a nose around the river at Hamner and Hanmer itself (hadn't been in a while) then inland route to Kaikoura. Started to go around Port Underwood road but it was quite late and I got really bad hayfever from the Molesworth (I usually don't even get hayfever!) so common sense kicked in and u-turned to the main road home (not to mention the sore arse

).

Yup! Enjoying it as much as time allows

Going to take a while to work out the range though. I did 235kms to one fill and then ran out above Kaikoura at 198kms but I have no idea what speed I was doing then as it was dark already. I think I'll stick to fuel tests during the day too just in case next time there isn't any moonlight when the lights flick off XD

Speaking of, if any of you lot are interested in trips during the week give me a yell. I'm really struggling to get time off on the weekends at the moment.
