Thread: Awesome outing yet No Joy

Sunday was a lovely sunny day after a wet n cold bit of snap down opur way.. Plans made and left home at 5am. Before I left that morning I took some snaps of the frost on my car. While driving I knew, black ice would have definitely formed on the Rimutaka hill. I drove slowly from the starting of the hill. I had never seen or experienced this before.. Half way up on a bend, i was like holy shit.. the ute slipped but the slow speed and gud tyre grips saved any misfortunes..

Very slowly I crossed down to the other end and was back on track to where I was heading..

Arrived at it was getting light. Was really a beautiful morning. I drove the track right to the peak. I noticed the water puddles had thin layers of ice formed.

I glassed for quite sometime with the light hitting the clearings than walked down to do some bush stalking. Wind was in face and found very fresh signs too.. as usual just got close enough to see the shit and wonder when will I get to see the arse that did tat shit..lol

Had to get back by mid day so called it off and headed back home..

Some snaps of the day:

Dedication

looks like a nice spot

You certainly put in the effort mate. Keep it up and you'll be chewing on a tasty backstrap before you know it. If I was a deer i wouldnt get up till it thawed

Yeah i know the corner yet i was prob a good hour or more ahead of you.

Nice spot there mate, maybe mr deersie heard you driving??

It will happen mate, soon enough

Wel done on getting out mate......keep it up!!!!

Good work. Keep it up and you will be rewarded.

Looks bloody cold down there ,piece of frost cloth over your window you can just peel off might help.
We ain't got a lot to complain bout up this way but good on ya for getting out in those conditions .

if I was a deer I wouldn't be walking round in the frost either

that's a decent frost all right!

Keep putting in the effort and it will happen ! Good stuff, Hope to head down those ways mid November for a walk around

Gotta love the black ice... Well done and great pics.
