Last right hander leading to the left to caretakers, straight to dam bit.
Slippery.
Slide one way, slide the other way, splat.

I slipped on some ice on a corner, tried to stay on though the terrafirma came fast and hard, bike landed on me, broke my Fibila, and no I'm not Fibbing

I'm going to tootle up the Maungatapu about 1pm and have a play on all the side tracks.

Including the one on the right just past the first bridge.
Will make sure to take the shovel...

Leaving the 705's on just to make it interesting

Fire crews from nearby Hira, Nelson and Atawhai went to the scene and a helicopter was being used by by 2.30. A second helicopter was called in after the first had problems releasing the deluge from the monsoon bucket.

By 3.15pm the fire, which had burned through large pines to the top of the ridge, appeared to be well under control.

Lud Valley, about 20 minutes drive from Nelson, is occupied by lifestylers and the forest backs onto it.

Macs Rd is near the road that curves around up to Mt Everest from Teal Rd.
