Early morning at Mt Bee, the Jimny is ready for another adventure

It looks like it’s going to be a nice day, no more rain

But first: breakfast!

The Garston Ski Hut, we’ve stayed here a few years ago, today we are just passing by

But we do have a quick look inside and admire the many drawings and wisdoms on the walls

The main event of the day: the Nevis Road!
![](https://edwinov.com/edwininnz/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/5D3_6133_DxO_result.jpg)
We have travelled this road before but in the opposite direction

Hmmm, we need to get to the other side, I walk through the water first to see if it’s not too deep or slippery, and it is, both

I need to cross a little back and drive through a muddy bit to get there, but everything went fine

Lovely views

Rachel did I think 80% of the driving today, she’s really getting the hang of it

The Nevis Road is always special

And here’s a group of batches, I wonder how often the owners come to live there, and what they do there?

And when were these batches built?

I think these have eroded away a bit more compared to last time we were here

This time I climbed on top

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Getting the hang of it? I taught you to drive!
I love all the landscape there – the hills and the canyon like bits.
