My sister will be down in Nelson at that time and has offered to sort the bbq Saturday night as she absolutely fucking loves this sort of shit. She will be in her bus and would park up at the top 10. Now the thing to note is that she is genuinely epic at bbq type catering and does it professionally, the food would be next level. I thought I would put it out there for discussion.

There are a few creeks on the Maungatapu, but not of any real significance. Even in flood they'd only be 5-10m wide and less than knee deep.

RUNAMUCK Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 The ride will end in Blenheim. On day three we will be departing St Arnaud in the afternoon and taking sh63 along the south bank of the wairau river back through renwick/Blenheim. (With a final pub stop along that route) (this is a bees dick over 100kms) for whatever reason theres no route map showing this stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.QCR Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 There is possibly 5 of us who will be riding Nelson to St Arnaud with everyone else then splitting off and heading back up the Wairau Valley To renwick where we could enjoy a mid arva pint and chips before loading up and heading back to Chch if that floated your Boat.
