Sproing"
Last week most of the country got a pretty good hammering with cold temps, high winds, rain, snow, closed roads and all the drama - nice. Yesterday things started changing for the better and today ended up being a right cracker! No excuses for not getting out for a pootle then"
Absofreekinlutely! With the more old Connie still awaiting the fitting of it's new shoes the Tenere was the one to get all the excitement.
I left home fairly late with not much of an idea on where I was going but heading out towards Ashhurst, all I could see was brilliant blue skies and this ginormous, big aerial thingee sitting up on top of the ranges. Off to Whariti it was then.
The road up the hill starts off as nice gravel but as you climb higher there are some rougher bits and it gets steep and windy in places. Its also a good idea to keep an eye out for cars as its a nice place to go on a good day to take in some spectacular views.

Now, where's my flag"As you can see, the little GoPro takes reasonable photos. What a shame that I only took my little point and shoot for the pics at the top. Dumb move!
Can you see my house"
There be the track
Only the odd bit of this white stuff lying around
The trip down probably took me a little longer than the trip up. I took things quietly over the rougher stuff as I wanted to have brakes when I needed them. I actually had only one ABS moment when I brake...
