Devil's Gate Closed?

Postby Beer_Cruiser » Sun Nov 01, 2015 10:55 am

Is there any truth to the rumor Devil's Gate has been closed with large bolder?
Any one know why or who has done it?
A photo or two would also be nice (am a bit far away to pop round for a look)
Thanks Malcolm

Are you referring to the Rainbow Valley Road, from Hanmer to the Lakes ?

Arrrh sorry I see my mistake
I mean Devils Gate at Red Rocks on Wellingtons south coast.
Its on the unformed road .
Its sounds like there has been an Act of Environmental Vandalism .
Seems that the road has been Bulldozed and a large Bolder placed in the gap at the top.

Devil's Gate is not Closed...
Info I got was 3rd hand.
The Washout in the next bay had washed out and the track was down in the soft sand on the High tide line.
A new track had been formed higher up the washout on private land.
The Land Owner has closed this Track
Sorry if I corsed any Panic...
As you were Malcolm
