Loved the post-bushfire landscapes up here

The sky had a weird pink/orange tint, made the terrain look more dramatic and alien

About a hundred metres of rock they hacked through to make this

After that, the "Ocean Veiw Lookout", the road closure meant some quick planning by Pete and Marty on how to get out with Hima only having a 15L tank.

This pic looks like earlier in the day, but I think it was on the descent

Luckily there was a possible route, and mostly going down the mountains meant I could coast down for much of it. I had a front wheel washout not far from the end of the dirt, but no photos please Paparazzi. I did prove it's possible for me to pick up the Hima on my own, so that's a positive.

I'm rich and I ride with my own Himalayan support crew, so bent handlebars and brake lever were fixed by RE's finest mechanics before a well-earned dinner. I may even have bought them some drinks, can't remember
