How to get thru the Maungatapu track from the nelson end

[Padmei]

I made a short movie on how to get past the locked gate & under the wire on the Maungatapu from the Nelson end. Bit crappy & parts are missing from editing but shows the main bit.

Should have just opened the lock, doesn't look like its in a cage which padlocks are worthless without...

I went through about two weeks ago and they had started grading the road at the Nelson end. It was like a Highway. Flat and Boring!

The caretaker said that they needed to do it to get a bulldozer in to fix the slip. I hope that they don't go any further!

Quite a long "temporary closure".
