Siw and I camped at the entrance to the park, in a modified version of DB's GQ campatruck. seems to be ok, we will just HAVE to do more of this camping lark!!
Brave girl, my sweetie!!! Mozzies and I both luv her to bits!!! Interesting patterns of bites on legs, bum, arms etc etc. She evinced a sincere amount of jealousy at mans ability to pee without exposing all the tender flesh to the insectavora of the outside world!!
All that aside, we spent the night out of the rain and rain it did!! Ohhhh the trout are as safe as houses in the Whakapapa stream. Bloody things.......
Was a great trip, arrived and met up at the Whakapapa Bridge behind Owhango, Phone call from Rolloverrover, first casualty, blown up his iol filter. Bugger!
Waited for the Sukis for about 20 mins and then they arrived and we was off.!! Good day, the "42" gave us great weather streams low and track unused enuff to be interesting.
a gazillion mountain bikers though!! fortunately, no Quads. They are a pest, thinking that they are the only ones using what is a popular track, never expecting to see anyone else and doing a million kph. Good fun to see how far their eyes pop out when they scream around a corner all hung out and see a large hungry grill!!
Sooooo 7 of us set off, played with narrow bits, damp bits, more narrow bits, Bosshoggs VX made certain tracks QUITE a bit wider too. good truck now.
anyway......
Here is the camp.......
and we are off.........
Bosshogg had the first prob, hi-lo lever incorectly set after body lift.
