Chapter 6 part 2: Around Sunny Nelson

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...
