    Cheers Keith. Not much of a pic person but lets see how we go. Been a bit of rain up there so hopefully the rubber side remains in the mud and not pointing towards the sky! Part of the adventure i guess.
    Stayed of the sticky bums and pies in a effort to get a little fitter....saw what it did to porky Steelo and was alarmed...

    Enjoy the trip PB. Remember, if going in the water up there, swim between the locals.

    Have a great trip fella.
    I did it mid 80s with a bunch of guys on XR500s  They were the bike back then for Enduro, everyone had one.  We had a lot of fun.  Pretty sure its a tiny bit more civilised road wise up there now.

    Yes Binnsy the main development rd is supposedly pretty good but we intend doing old telegraph one way and development rd home. You know what usually happens when you have a plan though...
