Goats seen at the saddle on way in and in the clearance riverbed

Thanks mate - we'll be heading over the Clarence into one of the Molesworth blocks for the roar.

Wonder if they realise by charging ppl for the track they are liable if someone comes un stuck

Is that true even if they make you sign a liability form?

I feel like acting on that (as the person paying for access) is a sure fire way to never be granted access again?

I'm happy to pay my money as I have plenty of mates who are farmers and I know how much they spend on track maintenance. I also understand how disruptive it must be when people do get into trouble using those tracks.

No, we're heading up Elliott Stream. Never been in there before so should be pretty interesting.
