RUNAMUCK Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 wOW. I'm very late to the party. Fuck I'm jelly of you. I dream of doing a mish like this. It's only poverty, family, and apathy which are stopping me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 I brought that BMW session forward a couple of days so had a bit of extra time up my sleeve so zig zagged back across to the east coast. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 I meant to go past different lakes on the way back across west but somehow got on the wrong road and went back exactly the same way I'd come to Wanaka. Went Haast Pass thought to Fox Glacier. I was peer pressured into washing car. So many stone chips! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Rubbish weather so didn't get to see glaciers or Lake Matheson/Mt Cook. Better leave something to see next time anyway. Greymouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 At fires we often ride in them with no doors . If you get a window seat, and the pilot turns so it goes on it's side you get a great view of the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I meant to go past different lakes on the way back across west but somehow got on the wrong road and went back exactly the same way I'd come to Wanaka. Went Haast Pass thought to Fox Glacier. I was peer pressured into washing car. So many stone chips! I'm pretty sure I stopped next to that bridge when we did the lap of the south in big red. went down by the stream for a wazz and stood in some freedom campers pooze right in the middle of the track cam, 31, feilding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willdat? Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 That bridge is in the wettest place in the country - I've been across it probably ~50 times and I've never seen sun overhead as in your photos. You must/not believe in the correct gods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
