    Kiwi Road blocked? (11 July)

    Any one planning a trip through Kiwi Road should be aware it may be blocked
    Whilst out mowing the lawns at Kohuratahi today the driver of a filthy big SCANIA three decker stock truck asked if I thought he would be able to get to the Uriti road via the Kiwi Road
    Despite assuring him it was not a goer he seemed keen




    Its dark now
    Wonder how long it will take him to back down to the Okau Road from the tunnel (if he gets up to it in the first place)

    It's the mental image of him trying to back down it that's got me giggling...

    That tunnel is on the Moki
    If a logging truck driver can get a load of logs out Kiwi Rd then I am off to watch that. There is no way he will get past the stock truck

    Just on a slight diversion (at the risk of some pratt giving me an infraction again lol), mowed Kiwi Road last week. Bugger me its pretty skinny when your up there with a tractor that has a doofa sticking out the side. Only shat meself the once when the bank dropped slightly under a front wheel. Hooked reverse very quickly.
    As for the lucky bugger on the Gold Transalper, that's not fair out playing on a school day! Get a job ya bum

    The Moki tunnel is pretty cool. Doesn't it come out quite close to a Micro brewery in the end?
    Okoki road?
