Hi all, I just got back from a trip into big river, just out of Reefton. I thought I would post some photo's for those that may find them interesting.

The track in, is a bit rough in places, we used a short wheel base 4wd. A long wheel base might prove difficult in a few places, due to tight corners and possible bellying the vehicle. A lot of motor cross bikes on the track at fast pace, so use caution, they come up real quick. Not many places to pass other vehicles if necessary. Travel time was 3 hours one way, we were taking it real easy. (No other vehicles with us.)
