Apr 26, 2009 - Arthur's Pass

Set off from Christchurch around Mid day and decided to go over the Arthur Pass which has spectacular scenery (Apparently) but when I got there the weather had turned and it was raining hard. Waterfall were impressive as a result! Stopped at Castle Rocks and a place where a river gouged a hole through the hill side (good for caving) passed Greymouth and realised I was close to the sea so called into a campsite so I could see the view in the morning. ... Oh! crossed NZ longest swing bridge.Set off from Christchurch around Mid day and decided to go over the Arthur Pass which has spectacular scenery (Apparently) but when I got there the weather had turned and it was raining hard.
