It happens to the rest & the best
There are many mount'n men in these parts but few are more mount'n than Alan Whale. He's bin 'round since the volunteers slashed their way up the route which is now the Ohakune Mountain Road. In fact he was one of them thar volunteers. So you'd think he'd be pretty canny when it came to negotiating the south route up Mount Ruapehu? Wrong - He gets stuck like the rest of us - last week he was driving a load of firewood up the road (who needs chains?), late one afternoon - and couldn t find where the road, er, exactly was - and got stuck. Perhaps it was a Jap import front-wheel-drive with flimsy chains (in the boot)?
