There was a big wash out from winter on one of the river crossings, no passing from that point.
Not sure the state ATM

I haven't been in there for years so can't help sorry.
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

Hi guys, Thanks for the imfo, I`m shooting down on Sunday 9th with my 3030 and the Sharps for fun, using mainly the 3030 as the Sharps is 12.1/2 lbs, have made a sling for it, but!!!, yer. Will not be walking to far up the track as last time I did that in the Pureora I had bad leg cramp, I found a quick fix, slap on a packet of frozen sausages and they still tasted good after being on my hairy legs,
. So just nice and slowly, to work my legs in and just have a good look around the area . Homebrew.357.

She's a steep pull from the road end,once over the top pretty good to Skips(shocking pink last time I was there,)another good pull over to Rogers' then from memory pretty good to the saddle
Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out
