Very nice! I didn't think you get snow in Kiwi Land?

[kiwiscoot]

Yes we do like this. click on picture


Where I am it only stay for a few days and then normally not much, maybe 2 inches. The Southern Alps tho have snow right through the year on some of the higher peaks. The rest of the mountains have snow for about 9-10 months of the year. Good skiing too if your into that sort of thing.
Nice looking scoot - happy scooting

Hi Luke next time I'm out on a ride I'll take some pictures of them for you. They & sheep are so common that we ride right past them without even giving them a second glance. I could've past more than a 1000 as most farmers here have between 450 - 800 cows. Some of the bigger country outfits have up to 3000 milking cows.
And I like your avatar. I grew up in Africa and know how monkeys can "monkey around". Can make a mess of your campsite. haha
Kiwiscoot - from where we saw a bit of sun today. cold frosty -3degC/26degF scoot to work this morning

Nice pics kiwiscoot looks like the Drakensberg in winter or the mountains in the Cape don't you think? With winter in full swing in the southern hemisphere its nippy on the bike in the morning. Here in Johannesburg we have seen 3 degree C but the minusses are coming, no snow in Johannesburg though so scooting through the dry winter is normal. I ride just 9 km (5 miles) to work so just before the cold gets under the breaker I'm at work.

Yes just like the Outeniqua mountains neat George where I grew up. Only it needed to be a really cold winter for them to have snow on, not the 0degC to -3degC mornings we have here at the moment.

Not to highjack (SA tradition!) JR's thread...
I swapped the Garden Route SA because this is all Garden Route like this. I was going to include a video to show this, but Photobucket seems to have a problem, so maybe later.
scoot safe in warm SA
