I can see at least a couple of potential lines through that

i wonder if the farmer will get a bill from nzta for the damage his paddock did to the road?

looks like the poor bugger has lost a few acres.

wont be cheap is right. you can see that line in the papa up the right hand side. the whole bloody hillside is on the move.

Good news! But not wasted, it'll be closed to vehicular traffic.

I got my pic

Highlighted the goods news...

The traffic through Taihape has already increased noticeably. I have to wait for traffic now to cross the road

Probably means the road from Wanganui to Hunterville will be seeing more traffic too.

Wasn't that busy at 11pm last night...damp, but not busy.

I would think so, I would also expect the River road and Fields Track road to get a bit busier ad well.

You're lucky, you missed the Ski traffic...

They're suggesting Fields Track as the detour. I just hope they don't "improve" i.e. ruin it.

Err,, off topic...
If someone finds a live stream of The Great Race on this weekend, be a good bugger and let everyone else know!

Yeah, what he said!

I guess it depends on which Great Race you are referring to.

Yeah I didn't think the 500 was until May

500 = Snooze fest.Drive in a circle for 500 miles cant see what is great about that.

Wouldn't bother watching it if Scott Dixon wasn't driving.

Ha ha ha. Oval racing takes a bit to get into.

Personally I prefer two wheel racing

Sky Sport 5-Starting today with qualifying races then all day Saturday with the great race midday Sunday

I have to say that Sky Sport have done a great (although long overdue) job with organising their channels.
Channel 55 is the designated motorsports channel, so you don't have to figure out where the MotoGP is hiding from race to race.
They are also playing heaps more coverage of MotoGP, ALL the practices and even the warm up.

Even better, they are showing world championship trials and enduro.
Sky Speed is a pretty good effort as well.

Left-flat out ,Left-flat out, Left-flat out,,,,,,Feck, I'd rather race to the shitter with food poisoning!
Apparently sky does a Bathurst fanpass for non-subscribers to watch a stream for $15.
If its that easy, I'm in!
