Willdat? Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Yeah it's not bad eh, Jollies Pass has one rut that will be a little interesting for the support vehicles with trailers, but well within their abilities. The riding will be awesome. 4 1/2 hours from Nelson to Hanmer at no more than 50km/h on the gravel. The gate keeper was super keen on us going through together at the toll gate, but I guess that will depend on the pace. 9 Quote

I know what rut your talking about but thats not really a drama Nice one - yeah the Escape needed a little rock positioning to get over it, but it's not a real 4WD + we don't really know what we're doing! In a proper 4WD there's sooooo much exploring that could be done through that area. Quote
sentra Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 someone going on the ride have a manned business address i can send a courier bag to in time for this? 1 Quote
JustHarry Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Yeah flick me a pm if you want to send something m9 1 Quote

Also need one more or a tent site if someone else has extra space? Could take over an Auckland crew's booking perhaps... I’ve got the Nelson night covered now, got a spare bed in Hanmer on Thu if anyone is interested. Quote

We're (me & @Pee Dubs & Steve Aiken) curious about your accommodation. Not to be the vulturous bastards that swoop in on your Covid misfortunes, but what are the odds we could snap up some of what you guys were planning? We're a bit stuck for Nelson epecifically. EDIT: And @governorsam is curious too... About Blenheim. 2 Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted March 1, 2021 Author Posted March 1, 2021 Probably pay to tag them. I expect they're not following this thread religiously due to the crippling disappointment of not being able to come. 1 Quote

I’m keen to get there in the arvo sometime We're gapping quakechurch around 4pm. Probably be an obligatory stop at countdown to stock up on blue loaded, snacks, and cheap beer. So should be hitting town (it's more of a village really) around 6. Just in time to check in, go see the good people who are offering the off street parking, then smash the Alpine village inn for a roast and beers. Washed down with cold beer sold by the jug. (Which is how any civilized establishment sells their ales) Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted March 1, 2021 Author Posted March 1, 2021 Also my bike has a fucked battery, a loose chain, and a sloppy cush drive. Lol. 2 Quote

Chris.QCR Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Im leaving Hornby with Aaron at 6am and riding north to Sefton to pick up Mark then gonna full throttle it to Culverden for Breakfast pies then onto Hanmer to top the gas up on the way in and then get involved 1 Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted March 1, 2021 Author Posted March 1, 2021 Its keen to ride the 140ish kms to Hanmer before riding 200kms. However on day three the ride home will be murder. Itll be like the seat has been swapped for a barbed wire dildo. 2 Quote
