    Hey guys
    I headed up Thompsons track on Saturday for a look around and couldn't believe the state of the track. there's about 6 good sections that are fully wiped out or covered by slips. I believe the council recon $180,000 to fix the track but to be fair I cant see the track being open to bikes or 4x4s again. Bit of a shame for the bikes and that but good for the hunters. Oh wait that's right halve the bush is missing up there now thanks to logging.

    I rode a horse to the top of the track on Sunday, so it cant be too bad...if those that ride bikes or quads want to put their hand in their pocket for a few dollars to help the council, that would be good...otherwise I don't give a rats arse if they have to walk in. The logging in and around Thompsons Track is on either on private land or forest managed land, you should really be hunting on DoC land, stretch your legs a bit to find it.

    There you go...photo taken Sunday...check out a topic I started "off for a ride" elsewhere on this forum...go back up the track, there is plenty of hoof prints and piles of horse shit to prove we made it to the top. As for getting past the pile of rocks...'spook taps the side of his nose'
    You are right, the top of Thompsons is DoC land but you were talking about the pines which are not on DoC land.
