Wifey experienced a severe one when her family lived in Trentham, Hutt Valley back in the early 70`s.

She and her 2 younger brothers found it very exciting her parents were absolutley terrified

Just looked at the photos again .I’d cut it back a wee bit and rivet an alloy plate on that then seal over the top With a torch on smooth finish roofing felt then coat it .

Not Marley Moderns , then Wully ?

Just shy of 7 metres Marie, I know, they look huge. Our last camper here looked to be about 8 metres, measured it at 6.93 metres.
We filled Lou's car 2nd day here @ 75p a litre, the same garage is now selling 84p a litre. Definitely on the up.
No narrow twisty roads?
Some of the mountain roads are like helter skelter.
We drove the Wanganui River Road, absolutely spectacular, turned a tight downward hairpin and was confronted by a landslip. Half the road was gone! We were safe though, the roads department had placed a plastic cone to stop motorists falling hundreds of feet to their death.
Land slips are very common here, earthquakes and heavy rain being the main reasons, plus NZ is a 'new' country in geological terms. It is constantly
changing.
Last time here we experienced a 5.8 earthquake, pretty exciting! The harbour at Kaikkura had a ground heave of 4 metres, where once it was just water, next day it had a ruddy great rock formation sticking out of the surface!
Also came across railway lines that had crossed over each other, bridges that had parted mid way and lots more.
Who needs Alton Towers when you have NZ.

I watched a Discovery program about bee farmers moving their bees to Tasmania on some seriously sketchy mountain roads and they do it every year.
