Beaten by Ice on the Borland Road
Trip intention was to explore Lake Manapouri South Arm.Unfortunatly the weather man had other ideas.Packed ice on the Borland Rd put a halt to the journey as the road tyres on the Super Tenere just wouldn't keep the bike upright.

Right from the start the road looked like it might cause me some grief.

The weather was closing in and the temperature was 3deg on the bike computer.



Not far past this point the trip came to an end.Hard packed snow had turned to ice.
