As I mentioned in the post yesterday, we were in for a bit of Weather with several weather warnings overnight. We found a powered site to plug in over night as we had done very few km’s the day before as well as being on the 3nd day with no sun to charge the batteries. This was out the back of a small town called Brightwater (the birth place of Sir Ernest Ruderford - the Guy that split the atom).
We awoke this morning to:
- the RCD (GFCI) having tripped and not resetting
- The air vent in the loo/shower leaking
- All the roads out of the campground and the main roads closed to
- Brightwater
- Richmond
- Motueka
There has been a helo out over the roads/bridges this morning and the fire service turned our host around when she tried to head into town.
I guess we are staying here another night unless the roads open up soon. On a brighter note the hosts here are fantastic and friendly have have helped sort out a replacement power cable. Thanks Larna @ Netherfold.
Here goes, trying to get to Motueka…
I guess not
bruh your camper van is in the air you should get that looked at
That is from one of the national news sits. We are parked at about the top left 1/3 intersections
[edit: updated image to point where we are]
regardless, if you camper van is 3k feet off the ground, that could be a problem
Rutherford (not Ruderford) would be proud you’re seeking higher ground during a flood, splitting atoms is one thing but staying dry is definately another level of genius lol.
