    Manawatu Gorge Slip

    As some of you know the gorge has been closed for weeks now, a couple of pics I took today looking down at the road.

    They should just abandon it and invest the $$$ into the other two roads, they will save millions

    That's One Amazing View You've got there . Those Towers are Amazing to stand under . It must be Incredible to be on top of them . I imagine You be able to see Alot of both the Islands from that high up.
    Great Photos .
    It's about time the MOT put a Decent Highway over the top and stopped playing "Micky Mouse" with the gorge road as that road will Never Stop Slipping , it's Amazing No Ones been killed in one of its land slides yet .

    The rust on the hatch cover and the cheap looking hinge and screws holding it together DON'T add up for a Piece of Machinery thats got to withstand Huge Winds Up the top of those Hills . I Remember seeing those Wind Mills on Transporters coming through Southern Hawke's Bay back in 2004 not a transport job I would have liked but To be up the top of one looking at the view Now That Would Be Amazing ..
