3 Day Mid-South Adventure Ride
A few pics of an adventure ride though the mid/top end of New Zealand

Starting up Jollies Pass




Edwards Pass





Mailings Pass, did someone overshoot the last right hand corner there Matt?


Rainbow Road



Knead-it, sometimes you need it

Lake Rotoiti

Porika Track... closed you say?

A bit of careful maneuvering around this section




Lake Rotoroa

A log hidden in a bush took out Matts Radiator

Not wanting to push luck with the radiator, we camped up in Murchison Motor Camp, with emus of all things?!?

Keen on a cooked breakfast but not sure of a nearby caf, Matt asked one of the locals for directions

Palmer Road




The start of Waitahu Track











Some of the track detours were tight and tree rooty







Montgomerie Hut


Was up at 5:30 and spent 8 hours walking up the Montgomerie River. Saw 3 nice looking fish, all of which were remarkably spooky, the pristine clear shallow and glassy surfaced water added to the difficulty. Absolutely beautiful valley for a walk






The Montgomerie River walking track was well marked and well maintained

Heading back out on the bike again, a bit of log shuffling to make a nice ramp
