What track?

What track?

Na its not called "what track", and I can't remember its name but its friggen good. Sorta like a cross between Big River and tha lamamoors. couple good hills and some good slippery fun on the top. Wished I had better tyres and a lighter bike, but still great. We will have to have a looksee again one day.

Umopom says it links up with Flora carpark, but only accessible on one of them engineless bikes that some folk like.

i think we'll leave that subject to our imagination.

It's not on Takaka hil Yeah it is a good track. Did you go right to the end ? There's a couple of ways you can get out too, I did some silvercultur in there back when I was youngerer

[umopom]

There is some 690 bits, coupla handguards and a front brake lever up the Cobb dam. Like new, only ever used on Sundays, well to be fair this Sunday. Way to break in a brand new bike.

No interesting pics sorry.

This is where we went (See Attached PDF). There is a big steel gate at the end of the 4x4 track just before Barron Flat.

Cheers Rog.

better get up their quick guys, before the mountainbikers with their high morals and lycra take it over.

Don't believe everything you see.....
There is a big loop at the end from where the gate is, least there was last time I was there
I've ridden through a couple of times from Flora carpark on a mountain bike, it's a good ride if your into that sort of thing.
Maybe I should go have a look and check on whether the loop is still there

I'd rise to that comment but instead I'll just direct you to Sharlands carpark where every weekend knuckle dragging, V drinking, sideway cap wearing, lowered L200 driving, grinder following dirt bike riders congregate & grunt & drool over their stickered up POSs doing burnouts on the road.

I like my morals lifted up high & firmly held in place by my sleek lycra knickerbockers thank you.

There are two big fuckoff gates with cameras their now. Umopom hadn't seen them before.

I wanna spend a bit of time up their exploring.

Hey, thats the future of offroad recreational motorcycling you are talking about there I blame crusty demons.

I know someone who knows someone who has land up there I'll make some enquiries..... It's a really good ride with some nice views down into the Takaka river. Be a shame if it's been locked up and can only be accessed on one of those old fashioned treadlys
I can't find the vid I had of a trip in there

Edit... see post #4835 this thread...

I blame the fact we're not allowed to enforce selective breeding programmes

Have a look at http://maps.doc.govt.nz/

It looks to me that the gates have been erected where DOC land ends. I guess is that it's private forestry land or by someone that really wanted to keep people out.

Isn't that part of Harwoods farm up there?
