Easter Bunny Trip 2010

You'll hear more about the road trips, the off-roading and The Ayslum very soon no doubt..

Thanks to Horse for arranging the whole thing.

Meantime here are a few highlight photos of the the trip.

Willis St, Wellington at 7am: Ready for the ferry

Inangahua River - 4DRTRD rocks!

The mean streets of Reefton on a Good Friday...

The Napoleon's Hill Easter Bunny leaves her gifts for the unsuspecting Rovers

 

The highlight of Napoleon's Hill - the tunnels! [we're lucky that the 19C miners knew what the width of a LR was going to be...]

 

James and Jackie's D3 - the first one up the Napoleon's Hill river?

Soldiers' Road ~ Big River

 

The marathon 2 hour drive up to the Big River gold mine winch house was worth it

At Echo Coal Mine - Jim is King of The Castle

Graham (and everyone else!) dives for cover as the D10 powers up

Omaka Aviation Museum (Blenheim)  - The Red Baron's Fokker is picked over by the Allies ( a trifle before LR history began)

 

Back in the Tropics at last! The Whanganui River from the 42 Traverse track (with some of the Go Bush! track on the other side)
