Thread: Anyone driven up Rangitata/Havelock recently?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has driven up from Mesopotamia recently and can comment on the condition of the 4wd track after all of this rain recently. I figured there may be some significant washouts, especially at the base of the creeks. Looking to get up past Growler. Flick me a pm cheers

Ring Mesipotamia station a call 036963738 - they will be able to give you an update. They recommend not driving up if the Rangitata is flowing over 100cmecs (its currently flowing at 615cumes)

keep and eye on this https://www.ecan.govt.nz/data/riverf...edetails/69302

currently at 615Cubes per sec your only option would be a helicopter

Might be a bit of a wait for it to get down to 100 cumecs. Its chugging at present, and seems to be a long protracted event this winter. Suggest you get hold of Prouts and fly in, or wait a few weeks.............or longer.
