Paekak hill on an america. part 2

[devo]

OK
Following on from part 1
This is the section from the summit,heading down the hill southwards as far as Battle Hill,where the road opens up a bit and into the Pauatahanui Valley, which will be part 3 when I get to it.
This was a cruisy ride down so as to be able to see the scenery.
With the extra view shots at the top it runs just over 8 mins.
Enjoy

Yup, and wots more Kev, there getting cheaper everyday.
Sketch And I picked up this on as the Go Pro HD naked (comes with a couple of basic stick on mounts ) for $320 kiwi.
I believe they now have the HD 2 , be worth checking out the extra features,such as the remote mike facility.

Nice video, Harry. A good run and gorgeous scenery. I saw a couple of roads off to the side that looked like Tiger roads.

Hey Shane, I live in a state called New South Wales, when I eventually get one of those cameras you can be the judge.
BTW we also ride on the propper side of the road.

Unfortuanately Carl,the only entrys and exits to that stretch of road are private driveways onto private propertys.

Cheers Dave. I only included the view cos you told me off on the last one. Re the cam position,I have one more tweek to make to the mount which will shift the cam about 16mm to the left therefore showing less of the speedo (which would be good).

Hmmm.... I can see some good Wollongong footage in the making.

A view from the top this morning of the road as it winds its way up. At about 1 third of the way up the road disappears inland and that is where the awesome hairpin is.

 

[DaveM]

Wow that is a stunning road reminds me of Chapmans Peak, Cape Town now this is one I want to do on a bike

 

[devo]

That looks like a cracker ride
Send us a coupla tickets Dave and Sketch and I'll come ride it with ya.

 

[DaveM]

That would be cool just need to check the lotto numbers first Over the years a few people have been killed on that road by huge rock falling and crushing their cars, I always have that in the back of my mind when driving along it

 

[devo]

be just ya bluddy luck wouldnt it
win the lotto,then get squashed by a rock.

 

[DaveM]

That would be about the way my luck would go

 

[otherwise]

We have a similar road with posted signs saying, "Falling Rocks Do Not Stop". I always think, "We know once they start to fall they don't stop".
