OK checked my files at home and the sign at the gate I showed you the picture of is at -41.419845, 175.363323 on Google Earth. As I said I never went round there on the bike at the time because I was short of time and just went to the end of Haurangi Rd in the car.

I think Aslan made some noises about a few of us Wgtners organizing something local soonish - we're not lacking in choices. Available weekends before Xmas is starting to get a bit tight though - given that there are two other rides already organized.

We dont want to put too much pressure on you

, early next year will be fine for the Wellington ride

MarkS et al - this was certainly mooted by folks from parts other than Wellywood on the TTTTT ride - you and I were nominated - I think it'll have to be in early 09 - cheers Aslan

This map shows the route from Martinborough.
Down Ruakokoputuna Road which then turns into Haurangi Road.
Haurangi Road follows the Raukokoputuna river and ends up at Waikuku where the
gravel runs out.
This map shows the track from Waikuku to Sutherlands Hut, this part is 4x4

Thanks merv, busa & marks for pointing out where it is - I'll show the lads who will likely want to go over there some time

No worries mazz1972
Its very nice and untouched down there, so as they say

Take only photos and leave only paint flakes & bits of broken motorcycle

Are you at work BusaJim? I think maybe not.

Then you better have the dog walked and the dinner on when I get home... or else

you might find it more effective to threaten him with something he doesn't enjoy

Sounds good to me, as you know Steve we have been talking about a Wellie ride for some time and as the CCA is only every second year why not have something to tide us over on the off-year!!!!!! Count me in.
