Love spring road trips

November 11, 2025

Considering the forecast I got off lightly with no rain, (Mon–Thu) but there were 30km/h+ winds off Lake Wanaka so I did not put up my 270° Batwing awning this trip.

35,000 steps and some cold sunny days. Love spring road trips. Ice on the windscreen overnight.
