Cricky Malcolm, that's going back a bit now. I remember Phil's rig but don't think I have any photos of it. I'm pretty sure there was a write-up of our Motu trip (one of many good ones) in the August 1999 edition of the Register mag. Them were the days before digital cameras and the electronic media we have access to now, but I think I have photos of the trip tucked away somewhere. Was the Winter after purchasing my first 650 Funduro. I remember the run down Mahia beach with very thick sand and an exit point that was decidedly dodgy. At best, it confirmed my addiction to adventure riding 😀 The following year was one of the best BMW Safaris of all time and the Funduro proved itself a very capable ride.
I'm heading up the East Coast on the way to the KR Mangawhai Adventure in mid-April, going to meet up with Oscar at Minginui with a bit of luck, so might make the detour out to Mahia to check the wall.Garry
