3 riders had taken a wrong turn the previous day so went to check out what was up. Hawksburn Road is well marked. There is a power line access road (un-named) which heads left 10 kms in on Hawksburn Road. The Cue Sheet did have a left at Earnscleugh Road a further 13 kms on. The power line road is used for a popular MTB Race held each year in December (The Bannockburn Classic). Could be a tired rider follows a familiar route?

| Sun not quite hitting the Eyre Mountains opposite |
 |
| And now just striking the tops |
 |
| Being from Dunedin most of their riding is done out of the sun anyway |
 |
| The view back down to Schoolhouse Flat in the Nevis , some 600m below ;-) |
 |
| I have just told them they have 300 m still to climb, why are they smiling? |
 |
| Looking back to Cromwell (the Nevis Road at the right) |
 |
| No problem here |
 |
| The offending turn, straight is Hawksburn Road and left is un-named power line service road |
 |
| Another hill, another smile! |
