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
