After coming out of the Wairau-Hanmer Springs Road we rode through to Westport where we stayed at the Black & White Hotel. Great old West Coast Pub.
The next day we hit Greymouth and stayed at Revingtons. Both these places have lock up bike storage.



After coming to a halt in the bush out behind Greymouth we had to go back and as it was late in the day we black stuffed it through to Christchurch. I lived in Chch for eleven years and hadn't been back since the earthquake so it was important tfor me to get there on February 22nd. What a shock. Spent the next few days visiting old friends and then it was back to Hanmer on Monday the 25th to go through the Molesworth which we did the next day Tuesday, overnighting at Cob Cottage.

kool trip... theres some good rideing around the top of the south island..
the kaikora inland road must have been built by motorcyclests...
The first time I went though in the late 70s on a kawasaki S3 400 triple
it was ALL gravel the whole way..

I drove though a week back... was thinking what a perfect road for a XTX..

did yer do the whole Rainbow hydro road though to St Arnads.
then 15mins on theres the Howard valley to the Porika & Braeburn tracks..
