    Hasn't had a bully over it for a while...usual slippy slidy...grandson shot to the top yesterday for a quick run in Suzuki...we are taking a horse trek over the track next Saturday so can give you an update on that side...the wind last week dropped a lot of leaf so the deer are running around like a hoover sucking up the easy tucker.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Grandson says if your mate cant get the big horn up there, he will show you how it is done...if you are going to walk, you can leave your wagon at my place...Kaimai Bus is empty if you want to stay over.

    Nibblet are you going hunting up there? Spook, Nibblet is a fit young buck so no need to extend the same generosity to him that you showed to me. Ha ha ha ha James that means I reckon you can walk up easily.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Sound's like your bloody lucky to be here Spook, That would Not be nice to experience.
    Have thought about going up Thompsons for walk, I did ride dirt bike's up there in my teen day's. May have to give it a go somtime, Wait to see how Nibblet goes.

    Well another non successful weekend but still a bloody good one at that. Up Saturday morning 4:15am, Keen as to get up the hill quick, Got to the top, Made a plan and headed in. Yep turned out not so good, Found sweet f all, all morning and ended up fighting through a crap load of supplejack to eventually make it back to a main track and head home after lunch haha.

    Sunday morning was a sleep in, Up at 5:30am, Get out there, Had a good look around as I walked up, Headed in and found good sign, Stopped and kipped out for a half hour or so haha - So peacefull. Did some more walking around then headed home.

    And here's another area I thought would be good to give a go sometime :



    And today I took my daughter into the bush for a walk around All up a good weekend it was. Time for a beer.
    Dundee and Neckshot like this.
