if there is fri nite accomidation in the naki area then that could be a plan, was just thinking for those in welly/hawkesbay ( Dazza you still coming over?) then we are a good halfway kinda point in the trip, but will join convoy to naki on either day.. to get to stratford from here means leaving here at 5am..... ish

The digger's been through the road very recently so there are some things you should know. The repair work has left the track very soft and there are no ruts formed at this stage in many sections. This means extreme care needs to be taken to avoid a long drop into the river in places. There are also reports of a quite major slip with more poised to fall. We have some guys going through for a look this weekend but at this stage, its no shiny trip. cheers.

Thanks Gordon for the information. Also good work that Egmont has done with the track. Perhaps some of your members might like to come along and meet ORE members.

Ok more than likely you will be coming via New Plymonth. When you get to NP come down to Stratford. If you need somewhere to stay your more than welcome at my place. This goes for anyone coming
Don't forget there is still a redneck posse coming up from welly for this trip, plan is maybe to crash at someones house the night before, .... so I guess its your place Nick .... PS better stock up the beer (for the night before).
