Spent some time, like 5 hrs the day before slashing the track in to be wide enough, blackberry is not paint friendly
Had a good day though.

And
A word of advice to anyone contemplating a 3 or 4 or etc point turn when running out of track..
Do not back into the river without checking the drop off first
Your in cab camera does not tell you the depth of the side stream nor does it compute the ground clearance
4 wheel drive is utterly useless when the 2 back wheels are hanging in the water, the exhaust pipe is burbling as it is also under water and your in panic mode as there is nobody for miles.

Geez talk about earning ya fish dinner :)
Glad ya didn't sink ya ute

Could have been worse! Could have been me!:D, hardly worth catching? I’ll be fishing Taupo this week, weather gods prevailing! Try out my down rigger! Going to join the the rapists of the lake, with a big of luck!!
