The yammys like the long way home....no need for shortcuts...

[Subike]

My yammy likes the long way home too, via the shingle roads, its BECAUSE of the weight of it that its fun.
It even likes the odd blat across the grass and has been known to go bush once and survive.

Well that was a character building trip!!

Was awesome to catch up with ewes all and meet some fresh meat.

Thanks TWR for putting us up for the night, escorting us to the camp and for the entertainment. Like the new sig!

Had a blast at the rally, the ride was chilly but the company warm. I had the best view of the young fella fall off his chook chaser gave him a toot ana .

No trip south is complete without a night at the Wilderness Backpackers at Haast, then up the wet coast to Pukekura. Bit of gold digging in the rain at Ross and a night at the Blackball Hilton. Next day was up to Motueka and over Takaka Hill for some salmon out of a pond. Four fish in 5 mins!! Too easy! Too yummy....

On the way to Picton I noticed wire on docs rear tyre. We had a slow ride to the ferry but made it just in time. Was supposed to be a "Moderate" crossing but I came so close to losing my dinner.

Night at Welly downtown backpacers and off to Welly motorcycles in the morning for a new tyre. Crasher talked me into taking a Hog for a spin... there may even be a pic.

Back to reality and looking forward to the next trip.

Pic is my submission for the badge.

ps. whats this about a rally at Garston???

So how was the fishing?

Didn't even take my gear out of it's case

Way to much in the way of trees along the accessible part of the river by the camp for me (It's been 6 seasons since I'd cast a fly so I would have spent more time hooked up to the fauna on the back casts than having the fly in the water), the river is full of didymo too so wasn't keen to start wading around or help spread the delightful snot elsewhere.

Arriving there a lot later than I'd planned on the Friday I only got a quick nosey at the river before other things took over and Saturday was for
The amount of foot traffic around the camp would make any of the resident fish pretty spooky too.

Saturday night Doc & Goblin went for the gamble and attempted a bit of long-lining for eels , that got a bit of activity out of the swimming hole getting a few of the locals attention & drawing a couple of big silver bellys out of the depths later in the night and one reasonable size brown came in close to check what was happening.

On Sunday I spoke to Scott about the fishing, and the trout around the camp are pretty sparse but was informed of where a couple of good spots are and that he'd willingly take me around the area to give these places a good going over if I ventured back down there some time during the rest of the season.

The pic is of one of the larger eels heading back into the depths with some bait

Thanks TWR for putting us up for the night, escorting us to the camp and for the entertainment. Like the new sig!

You're welcome any time, was good to have finally met after a few years of conversing via here & other means. Least you & Doc survived the wombles and the dogs

Next day was up to Motueka and over Takaka Hill for some salmon out of a pond. Four fish in 5 mins!! Too easy! Too yummy....

Told ya chasing sprats around a pond was easy get down here at the height of the season and I'll put you on to some of the wild ones to really get the adrenalin pumping
