A trip to Feilding
So after thunderstorms on Saturday, yesterday turned out to be an absolutely cracker. I ended up abandoning some of my plans and riding over to the olds to pick up a couple of things on the Tenere (her battery was in the most need of charging). And since I was on the Tenere then gravel was required...
After topping up the dino-juice I made my out to Pohangina and then onto the gravel of Pohangina Road - always a favourite for me as it starts off nice and fast. In no hurry I kept my eye out for spots to stop for pictures - bridges always seem to be interesting places...
Autumn!
Just up the road from the bridge, the road climbs up a little higher and there's great views out across the Pohangina Valley.
Good dog, stay...
Hitting Makoura Road I turned left to make my way towards Apiti. The gravel was fun but I did have to avoid a few locals on quads, out doing farmer stuff. At the bottom of the hill I stopped because there was another bridge...
While I was wandering around I got to thinking that there might be trout in the river so took a peek over the side and spotted this fella straight away.
And because I thought it might be hard to see the little joker against the river bottom I even took some moving pictures so ya could see him better.
And then when I took my eyeballs away from the camera I noticed his buddy about 2m away - I think there's trout in this river...
Remounting I crossed the bridge and clambered up the other side ...
