Had to work this morning and got home and decided I needed a head clearing session, so I hopped in the work ute and just drove, until I ended up at Makara Beach on Wellingtons wild west coast.
from there I decided to walk up the razorback track to the gun emplacements at the top of the hill.
its bloody hard yakka walking up a narrow ridgeline with 100m cliffs on your right, thank god the wind was pushing me inland, although its hard work walking with your body at a 45 degree lean.
anyway it didn't take long and heres some pics.....................
for the welly boys, heres a pic of Terawhiti Station, if you squint you can make out the highways running all over the farm........
and for all you southern folk, heres a shot of your island, but you may have to squint to see it ...................
damn near killed myself coming back down as I got even more keen and decided to run down the hill which is insane with the wind blowing at what seemed like over 100kph and every time you jump over something you land about 2 metres inland coz the wind pushes you off course, bloody landed on the fence a couple of times.
just waiting to hear if a mate has me a free ticket to the ABs tonight (fingers crossed)
now I have to wash the bloody work ute tomorrow as its covered in sea spray.
