Maybe, there are some factors preventing a definitive yes.

I guess you can turn off before the wairau river on day two, and go through taumarina. But rarangi is gonna be a good hike at the end of a big day.

It's 17 mins from your motel

If we're not in too late or too shattered I'd be keen to hit up that beer garden restaurant again.

Just looking at maps, French pass looks like a lot of exposed Ridgeline?

And kenepuru is following the coast in the bush?

What's the road surface consist of for those two?

[RUNAMUCK]

I'm leaning toward French pass. Talking to the roading contractor earlier this year, they reckoned kenepuru road was turbo fucked. I defo wanna ride it some time. A colleague at work has land up there. I dont think hes been up that way since the storm.

@JustHarry  @- i5oogt - and myself are booked in at the alpine holiday apartment and camp on the corner of jollies pass road, and fowler's lane on Thursday 9th march. They're cool with us leaving vehicles there for two nights for $20. 

Entry form will be coming out this week.

[RUNAMUCK]

I went and saw them today, and finished up having massive sharns with the people at the camp.

Is there a form that I fill out where I sign over my third born child or something?

[RUNAMUCK]

It's in the works.

I just looked at old tickets, I paid $650 to do the same in 2017, it's just old age catching up with you <3.

Jeez, that's pricey. I checked tickets for tickets, and it's gone up $70 compared to 2 years ago. (3 passengers & a ute)

Age is one thing, but I'm also a stingy fucker when it comes to booking shit.

[RUNAMUCK]

Given how rampant inflation is, $70 doesnt actually seem that bad?

[Whoopeecock]

Man, I’m just at a loss of words with Aaron’s passing. I was hoping he was going to be riding the Maruia, so sorry for his family and close mates. 

[RUNAMUCK]

Yeah that's a turbo bummer for sure

Anyone want bunk buddies? Zac and I are sussing something out, and wondering if anyone wants to tag in, or has spots for us to tag into.

I have a unit booked in Nelson (same place as last time), 2 bunks available I think (more space than the little porta cabin) - you’re welcome to jump in with me if you want, $30 pp.
