Sunday 6 March
Another day, another Island, off to the Mainland.
The plan was to ride to Nelson via Queen Charlotte Sound.
 |
| So
near, and yet so far away -- there was an emergency tracker on my bike,
but with a badly broken wrist I couldn't get to it to set off the alarm. |
Bad news. Fell down a bank in the Marlborough Sounds and broke my wrist.
Got a nice ride in (and under) a helicopter, but no more riding for
me....
 |
| Where it all happened -- the Pathway Link track leading into Havelock |
 |
| Rescue on the way. |
 |
| Being airlifted out of the bush. |
 |
| The rescue people were absolutely awesome. |
 |
| Inside the helicopter. |
 |
| Ten broken bones. |
 |
| In Nelson hospital, after the doctor had reset my broken wrist. |
