chris r 6,542 Report post Posted October 22, 2019 I'm out, fatigue issues still. If I can't do a couple of days driving a car then bikes are out of the question. Also am a noob and double booked a South Island pest with a friend at the same time 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyfive 6,990 Report post Posted October 23, 2019 I was just gonna get everyone to bring along twenty lousy dollars, for ease of collection/dispersal. Should cover one vehicle and whatever misc costs arise hopefully. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its common round these parts just to seal patches in front of buildings to cut down on dust, so that might be whats planned? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The iwi was looking into some bio-seal scheme using recycled something to seal the road. I'd suggest given the normal rate of progress in the area, we'll be sweet for a few more years yet. also link https://www.wairoadc.govt.nz/our-council/news/article/324/waikaremoana-community-reaffirms-road-sealing 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
