A dog a roof top tent and a long drive down state highway 5 through the Eske valley after the floods

Come along as we turn a long drive into an overnight trip away,
We head to Napier via State Highway 5 and through the now ghost town that was the Eske Valley , torn apart by extreme flooding and the effects of cyclone Gabriel

Wow! You have a compassionate nature Jules, thanks for sharing

[@Mhkjrswq46]

man this is gut-wrenching

[@adventureswithjill]

So very sad to see after so much clean up, and there is still so much to do. So many families affected, who will never be able to return home😢

[@JL2OFFRD]

Yes it was a very strange feeling driving through there , I’m not who is going to actually do any sort of clean up and when so may be like for some time

[@MontageRock]

Hey mate, when I’m googling Whakaipo Bay Freedom Camping, i’m seeing self contained only. Has the longdrop recently been added or am I looking at the wrong place?

[@JL2OFFRD]

No right place
Long drops have been there for along time
Heaps of people camp with tents
It does say self contained but doesn’t seem to be an issue

[@Mhkjrswq46]

Just, bro, please dont sh#t in the bush by the lake or leave your tooth brush and used tampons on the beach, getting over it. Self-contained only is the rules.
