Those coming from/back to dunners side, should make it on a tank. From Clarks Junction, its "almost" all downhill Mosgiel. Those coming from our side have Ranfurly...70 odd km's away from the rally site...

I was heading home from a Danseys Pass overnighter today, so checked out the garage @ Middlemarch, well I had to didn't I, the Hurricane only does 85 miles on a tank. I was told it would be closed but no! Its open Sat / Sundays for the summer and will be for Off The Rails weekend.
Its 44 kms from the Kyeburn turnoff to Middlemarch, or 15kms from Kyeburn to Ranfurly. So no one will get stuck!

Its the Sundowner for me,
Shortest trip to a ralley I could ever take, all 500 meters!!
So if it rains, snows or blows, I'll have my feet up in my lazyboy and still catch all the fun.
For a select few, there is room at my inn if the weather turns bad, lol,

I'm starting to wonder what size your tank is,

I can get to Queenstown and past it on a tank from Dunedin.
