At least until you've setup the tollgates huh?

Such a sweet road now that the metal bit in the middle has been straightened out and sealed....but oh, I'm just making it more popular now :Oops:

It's ok Hitcher, I am about to tarnish his repuation in a large way.

Hey slowfox! I will thank you not to post in this way about me. I am NOT gentle, unless you beg :devil2:

Gentle Annie is a side creek in the Kawarau Gorge, near Queenstown. Further into the gorge is Roaring Meg Creek which has a power station. Both creeks were named by miners in the 1860s after a couple of Arrowtown bar maids.

Somehow - and this is pure speculation - I don't think the OP is referring to the Gentle Annie I know....??

If there aren't laws about pedantic Southlanders, there should be.

Can we blame them though? I mean... after you've done all the sheep... what else do they have? :wait:

You would be correct. This Gentle Annie is a highway whose location I am oviously not at liberty to disclose - (see post #5, above...)

Everyone knows that Annie and Meg were good time girls...they got around.
Roaring Meg is (or at least was) a ford on road into the Otaki Gorge too...

[sinfull]

Roaring Meg is (or at least was) a ford on road into the Otaki Gorge too... Not that i ever caught her name but she' is still as wet as she ever was, ahhhhh yes, some girls just get better with age !!!

[slofox]

Roaring Meg is also a second label Pinot Noir from Mt Difficulty. It's wet as well...

I merely strive on a holy quest for accuracy. :D

Ah well, that's because the NW face of Mount Difficulty faces Roaring Meg which itself rises on the south end of the Pisa Range: bit cheeky of them given the creek isn't even on the mountain. :nono: Perusing my trusty Lands and Survey topographical map S133 I note they could have named the pinot Slapjack Saddle which has a certain je n'est ce quoi. Or not.

Just ride through with your preload wound right back so you are dragging your subframe on your tyre and bungy a subwoofer to the back. Wear a bandana under your helmet or hoodie over the top and you'll be sweet as bro!
