davjon, you're most welcome to join in, you'll will just need to fill in a visitor form and pay $10 for insurance purposes.

There is one uphill section that you may have a problem with on hwy tyres, especially if we get anymore rain, but it's relatively short and we should be able to tow you past the slippery section OK. The only other steepish track is downhill but is easily bypassed.
