Can't even get close to the Maungatapu.

Watched the report on TV last night. Fook, that's a disaster. Some poor pensioner was barreled out of his living room into the front paddock by a flash flood. Devastating.

The place I mentioned on Wed having the boulders on the drive?
If you dug down 3m you might get to see some boulders...

Just saw the devastation on the news, hang in there guys..... for what it's worth, you have my sympathies.

Bit damp hereabouts. The slips and runoff from the Grampians (Tukuka St and north) disappeared into the stormwater drains at Waimea Rd and popped up at our intersection. Fortunately on our side of the street it didn't breach the kerb, as it did on the other side all the rest of the way down Motueka St to Vanguard. But it did flood our downhill-side neighbour's drive with silt.

Big slip on Whakatu Dr between Beatsons and Annesbrook Rds last night. Not game to take the lad for our regular walk up to to the Grampians tower tomorrow - everything's going to be a bit unstable for a good few days.

I suspect there'll be some significant changes on our favourite playgrounds after this one. Lots of big changes to streamways already reported.

Yeah, there may be a bit much silt around even for the 705's

Not like you to admit defeat. Just take out a bit more air.... & a bit more

I would have thought you'd have tried Maunga from Pelorus by now...

Oh no, big problems on the estate.

Just did a recce round the section and have found that the rain has munted all the roses. Worse they are laying all squished up over the paths.Bugger.

I think Wairoa gorge may be interesting, mind you may not get much time this weekend. See above.

Save the roses man please save the roses...

I may get out on the green piece of shit tomorrow - did I really say that...

The six hour must be wearing off....

one of our favourite coastal beach routes will remain impassible for years to come after the Hawkes Bay floods earlier in the year. a lot of roads/tracks now go to knowherevile. So long as everyones safe!
