Check out these photo's of the day from "the forgotten end"....

A work mate of mine lives at the end of Murphy's line where Malcolm and I were trying to keep the road closed. He usually does wedding photo's but I reckon some of these are pretty cool!

Though, I did really looooved my fluro-mesh safety vest! But seriously, if I could delete that photo I would!!!

Not to rain on your parade here dude, But I think any more weight on the little screamer and you would have set no records. Apart from fastest drink trolly in NZ.

Nah what I ment to say was I had a car parked on grael road and I know that area inside out I could have got someone to go from gravel road up state highway into long wood along the road and got round to the top and dropped it off or else just taken some up there before I went for a run
