Day off today so thought it would be good to get some more use out of the FJ .

Ended up talking to my mate Steve in the UK for an hour on the phone. He is coming to stay with us in a couple of weeks time so doing some planning.

We are taking both my FJ and XJ to the South Island for a couple of weeks. I have only been to Nelson and my wife Pauline who is a kiwi has seen very little of the South Island also. Everyone tells us how wonderful it is down there for motorcycling so getting very excited.

Had planned to go to Wanganui up the Para's round the mountain and home but getting a late start made me rethink a bit.




FJ at lunch stop on Wanganui River Road

Had thought about going up the river road as I have not done that road before but decided to leave it for a day with less time constraints.

Made my way back through Fordell to come out at Hunterville. About 50 km's I think, I didn't see one other vehicle just half a dozen cattle that managed to find their way onto the road .

Any 365kms and bit of a sweaty bum Im told sheepskin covers are the way to go ?

It looks like you parked in front of a calender. I love it. I believe magnificent scenery is not uncommon or hard to find in En Zed.

Do you buy them ready to be fitted or make them up yourself?  Any tips?
