Found it through google street view, though I got thrown off the scent by seeing the "black cockpit" of the aircraft in Geeens pic. Couldnt find it as I scoped the road. Found the roadside memorial, couldnt see the aircraft.... checked pic, checked street view, checked pic, checked street view, checked pic... :facepalm: was his helmet sitting on the memorial.

My experience of that tag goes back quite a way - the tag was used once a long time ago. I retrieved it myself, hence the knowledge. As far as the crash goes, I was reeeeeeally young at the time...:whistle: Needless to say, it was big news when it happened.

[arcane12]

Ah I see the holiday tags get further out from town ;)

[Geeen]

Nope, just felt like a tootle. Tags can be anywhere in the waikato from what I understand

[roadrash_69]

If anyone is interested in a cruise* out to get this one I would be keen.

Just waiting for my GOPRO to be dropped off tomorrow but should be able to fit it in anytime after that.

*cruise around the 100k mark .. not too much higher cause I can't afford the tickets :( and those roads are dotted with cops.

[arcane12]

Anyone been out to get this one yet? I'd rather not risk my belt going on a longer trip like that. Though if it's still out there in a couple of weeks...

OK here we are then.

OLD TAG: Orakei Korako visitors' centre on Lake Ohakuri. This is a lovely place. Best tag for a while - nice coffee shop and wonderful scenery. Just a little further away than I had anticipated. :whistle:

NEW TAG: Another damn dam. But a great ride to get it whichever way you choose to go. Incidentally, if this has been used before, I have an alternative.

I like to learn something every day. Now that's over time for :apint:

But in all seriousness I have not really studies dams of NZ, and until I started riding a year ago I seldom strayed from SH1. It's fun, and educational. I thought the view looked wrong, but assumed it was from the other side (I had only been to the dam I went to once, and only from one way).

Strictly speaking the use of a file photo is against the rules. If you collect a tag you need to put up a new one within two or three days. My view is as follows: 1 the new tag as an admitted file photo is invalid. 2 if you cannot put up a new tag for 2 weeks then it is open for other local players to collect the old tag and put up a new one. 3 of course if someone knows where the new ( invalid) tag is and plays the new tag that tag would be validated.
The above is my view only and I would be interested in other players views.

I reckon it stands as a valid tag, the game will move far to slowly otherwise. Plus, the more the merrier!

[awa355]

I agree with Jim, If old files are permitted, then we could all stay home and just post old photos. Not something easy to police.

An old tag that has been photographed before is unavoidable, given the number of tags posted, but the re-post is usually by someone else with a different bike in the pic.

Climbing down off the other side of the fence, at least Bosslady got the old tag, and has contributed to keeping the game rolling.

I think, for this time as Bosslady is from out of the region, we keep this tag as current. Anyway, I know where this is and have my days off coming up. :niceone:

My view is as follows: 1 the new tag as an admitted file photo is invalid. 2 if you cannot put up a new tag for 2 weeks then it is open for other local players to collect the old tag and put up a new one. 3 of course if someone knows where the new ( invalid) tag is and plays the new tag that tag would be validated.
The above is my view only and I would be interested in other players views.

I agree with Jim though the state of "sucessful tag" could also be in dispute as it isnt showing the sign as photographed, it is clearly the reverse.

Much easier just to keep retagging the old photos :whistle:

That was too close to the road where cars drive on for my comfort, not as safe as I would have liked. Never mind, count my tag invalid and forget about it, no problem.

[Bald Eagle]

Interesting my two pennith worth from the Welly tag o rama -
To claim a tag must be a fresh pic.
2. To post the new target - file pics are permitted provided it's clearly stated as such. Keeps the game moving speclly in the shorter dayligh/ bad weather when there might not be daylight opportunity to get a 'new' pic.

Still it's your folks game; play it how you see it.

[slofox]

...the state of "sucessful tag" could also be in dispute as it isnt showing the sign as photographed, it is clearly the reverse.



Minor point IMO. It is obviously the same location. I seem to remember that the rules state that it is not necessary to have exactly the same angles etc.?

[ckai]

Wow, when did playing a game to encourage people to get out on their bikes become so serious?:confused:

Let's think about the major points here. Does it really matter if someone wants to use an "archived" picture? Honestly? They went for a ride, they got the tag, they rode somewhere else. Someone else can ride to that place, get out on their bike, and get some fresh air.

If someone wants to cheat and put a photo up, which doesn't even have their bike in it because they didn't even ride there, who's lose is that? Someone else can still ride to that photo, can't they? Who's the one missing the point of the game?

When a game is running as slow as this is, can you really afford to be mentioning "angles of photo's etc"? I can understand if you had 5 people rushing out, like the early days. Ya gotta pick a winner somehow. But it seems to me that the rules should be taken more like guidelines at this stage.

Remember the idea is to encourage people on their bikes, have some fun, enjoy the ride.

Meh, what would I know? I haven't ridden my bike in several months ;)

Oh, and free bump :drinknsin

[Smifffy]

Ok, here's my bit.

I figured "never mind all the rules, just go collect the tag and move this on." So I got on the scoot and off I rode. Duly collected. I also figured the objective was to make sure that it could clearly be seen that your bike was at that place on the stated time. The angle thing is irrelevant imo, as long as everyone can tell it's the same place.

Then I went for a general blast, thinking on where I could get the new tag. The one I had in mind wasn't really suitable as there were a number of very large vehicles parked in front of the actual feature. Never mind, off I pootled.

Then it got to raining, that cold needle like Waikato rain we all know so well. Wet Bollox. The temptation, of course is to go directly back home and say "neener neener, got the tag, I'll post another in a few days time." Or even better yet, maybe post a nice sunny pic I took the last time I was out, or maybe the time before that? I got some beaut pics around Chrissy time, is that too far back? How far is too far?

Then I realised that is soft-cock stuff, and I kept going to find a tag. After all that was the spirit with which I originally set out. In my view using an archive tag might not be against any sort of rules, but it isn't 'cricket'.

As Ckai said, the objective is to encourage people to get out on their bikes, to me that means not to go rummaging through their archives for a good pic. So you went for a great ride last week and got some good shots, but you didn't hold the tag yet? Good for you, once you get the tag, go take some more shots on another ride.

Personally I'd rather see a tag of your bike in front of your corner dairy taken in the spirit of the game rather than a pic from that awesome run you did last labour weekend.

At the end of the day, it's all just a bit of a diversion, and rules aren't really required, but then neither are clever tricks for some kind of 'tag bragging rights'. Let's keep it moving.

PS I enjoyed the clues and the ride out to Opepe cemetery - great tag thanks.

PPS If it bothers anyone, be aware that there is a fair bit of moss on the road in the centre of the lanes out towards the Tag, also the dam crossing access is closed today and tomorrow if you are coming from the BOP side.

Getting closer! And still on the Waikato border. I think when I get a chance to get one of these I will have to find a border too! Maybe one a bit closer to home.

I guess the real question is, when does a picture go from a 'stock photo' to acceptable? What if I saw a great place to put the tag on the way to collecting this one and put that up? What if I only had a couple of small windows over the weekend, and got the new tag on staurday and collected the old one on sunday? I think if you got on your bike to go get a tag to post, and the timeframe is around the same as the 'allowed' gap for a follow up tag (a week or so depending on how nice we feel) then whats the problem?

Good going Smifffy with sticking with it rain and all the get the follow up! I don't know if I would have. :o Getting soaked really put a damper on my will to stay in the saddle. All I can usually think of at that point is - go home, get dry, get beer.

[bosslady]

The "stock" photo that I used, for clarification, was something I took, shortly before I was going to go pick up the Orakau Battlesite tag. I had literally got almost all the way there when I checked my phone and someone had just posted that they'd picked it up. Anyway, I picked up a different tag a few weeks later at Woodlyn Park and posted the tag I was going to use after Orakau because quite frankly, I was fucking tired. Hey if you want to encourage people to ride even if they're tired and/or the weather isn't great and possibly put themselves at risk well then good for you I guess? I chose to ride home, because I recognised I'd had enough, and post a photo that was a couple weeks old and honestly - who gives a shit. I wanted to chuck up a tag that hadn't been done before and had a bit of history to it rather than parking at some rest stop next to some insignificant road sign, because, I thought part of the point of this "game" was to get out and see interesting/different places or things. And no, the photo that I took at Woodlyn wasn't at the same angle as the previous person but ffs - who cares? No, I wasn't going to park on the very edge of a road when I didn't need to be so close to it, tough. I understand there are "rules" but I would have thought that it was more important to encourage people to get out there, do something different, have a bit of FUN (which this hasn't been, in this thread, tbh), go somewhere you've never been, travel around good 'ol NZ a little bit etc. And to be fair, I'm a newbie, it's the first tag I ever did, I was still learning, I live on the North Shore, the fact that I have small children means I can't get out on my bike as often as some people and for goodness sake to attract so much criticism is beyond comprehension. Blokes, it's a bloody game, if I took stupid things so seriously I'd probably top myself. It's really just very silly in my mind and instead of being a whinging Nana I just think I'll stay out of your thread so... have fun :)

[Eddieb]

Thanks for that, I didn't know that was out there. Not sure I'll be able to get out there to pick the tag up in the near future but it's on the list to check out for a day ride sometime.

[Smifffy]

You're right, it is just a game and is meant to be fun. It wasn't really a criticism, you invited the discussion around rules and what should/shouldn't be allowed when you posted the tag. I was just throwing in my two bits. It's not about the insignificant sign, it's about the ride to get there. I'm not encouraging anybody to do anything.

Like I said, I enjoyed the ride to get your tag, and the history and clues you gave around it. I also said I don't give a fuck about the angles, as long as its clear the spot is the same.

Sorry it wasn't fun for you, are you really going to take your bat and ball and go home?

Can we still be friends?

I still can't fucking find it...:facepalm: :weep:

[ZondaX15]

Not good enough. Want me to give it away?

[insomnia01]

even with a helping hand no one has yet found it !! :facepalm:

Maybe a clue to narrow down the area it is hiding in...but I'd still be too retarded to find it I bet.

From the last clue, I thought it might be in Croall Cres. but if it is, it continues to elude me...:drool:

Croall Cres. Now that's a street I haven't heard for a while since my valuation days. Found memories. Valuing a house down one end with the other end blocked by police. Happy days.

As for the tag. I wouldn't know where the bloody hell it is either.

heading south as you leave Ngaruawahia park on your right as you merge with 100km area tight left hand turn there is a rest stop to your right on the corner, give that a go


even with a helping hand no one has yet found it !! :facepalm:

even with my helping hand it still waits to be found :wait: as per above clue if you stop on the side of the road before turning left into the 100km zone LOOK AHEAD :eek: its there for the taking

[arcane12]

I think I know where it is, though this post confused me:

"stop on the side of the road before turning left into the 100km zone " I am thinking this means 'before the left bend into the 100km zone'? I could not confirm for sure, as the place I am looking at is obsured on google maps. On call this week, so no saddle time for me (have to have laptop on hand at all times), unless I sneak out...

The idea of the thread is to go look, seek, etc.

There's 3 roads heading south out of the Ngaru, it's the middle one. It's a gravel carpark on the right hand side heading south, about 100m before the 100km zone.

Only way I could make it easier is to post a google maps thing. Even then I didn't have to scroll in far to find it

The three roads heading south is particularly misleading. Waingaro road doesn't head south. The three roads that head south are SH 39, SH1 and river road. This would mean SH1 is the "middle one" which is not where we want to be looking. 100m before the 100k sign? Not even close! Half that and you are on the ball.

So for those that are still lost. There are two State Highways heading out of Ngaruawahia and there is only one that has a gravel carpark 50m from the 100K sign.

Simple!

:facepalm:


Actually Insomnias directions make perfect sense....once you know where it is :bleh:

[insomnia01]

well I didn't want t o give to much away might get a :spanking: for giving directions it is a crazy spot

[ZondaX15]

well bugger me for not having a fantastic geopolitical knowledge of the Waikato :rolleyes:

Well shit, no wonder I had no idea. I thought it was sh1 and it didn't make any sense that I didn't know the place.

Which means I have ridden right past it twice now...:facepalm: Told ya I was retarded. :drool:

[insomnia01]

if you take SH39 you will be right ;)

[slofox]

if you take SH39 you will be right ;)

Both times I went looking I came up 39...better go to specsavers next time huh...

[arcane12]

From looking on Google maps it looks easy to miss coming from that way, especially if you are still slowing down for that 45. It's not where I'd be looking coming from that way.

:stupid: so i was stumped until someone spelt it out for me. Sure enough there is a little carpark overlooking the river 50m from the 100kmph sign.

Old Tag: 50m from the 100kmph sign, Ngaruawahia

I must have ridden past that a gazillion times and have never seen it...

Did you pick up a bag of lime at the same time?

:clap:
Yes I did pick up a bag of lime,
sounds like you have worked it out.
Glad you didn't go loopy trying to figure this one out.
Now get on the rd and go tag it.

[insomnia01]

HHHmmmm I wonder :yeah: isn't there some sort of Works over there ?? :sherlock:

[sil3nt]
