Sunday morning running a little late we arrived at the meeting place last just after 10am.

About fifteen vehicles met at the Kawatiri Junction on a sunny but cold Sunday morning.

After a briefing for the day’s trip we set off towards Murchison turning off on the road to Mt Murchison.  The hills had cloud cover but on the way up the fairly steep track to the top we went through the cloud and mist to a beautiful sunny day.  The view from the top towards Nelson was good but with a blanket of cloud below us like a blanket of snow. 

After a stop for a cuppa it was time to head back down to the bottom where we had lunch and then on to Lake Rotoroa and up the Porika Track.  It was a little rocky for the work truck!!  On the other side some vehicles went on the side tracks for a play in the ruts and mud with the rest of us watching them playing from the main track.

Then we continued down to the Howard Valley and on to home, a good day out for the shiney trucks.

Thanks Murray
