[Sutage]

Is the northwestern the motorway you get on from near Hillsborough Road? How long is it from there to Whenuapai.. going on the thing tomorrow and dunno way:P hope someone reads this :D:D

[FEINT]

NW motorway a.k.a SH16 starts from city (near grafton and parnell) and goes all the way through to Westgate. Don't you live out that way dude?

www.wises.co.nz IT IS FREE, so don't hesitate to use it. hehe :yes: :yes:

The Hillsbrough road motorway is SH20 and that goes South.

[Sutage]

hm so how do i get there from out west? what websites would have it, havnig no luck
edit: just noticed u said haha, cheers ill have a look

[crashe]

head over to waterview/Pt chev entrance...

So thats come down Hillsborough Rd and turn into Blockhouse bay Rd.
Go right to the very end of Blockhouse Bay Rd.
Then turn right into Gt Nth Rd and then take the Waterview motorway entrance....(heading to Helensville/Te Atatu/ Henderson direction)

Head up the motorway right to the very end....
Turn right onto Hobsonville Rd...
On your LEFT is Trigg Road..... that will take you to the airbase....

[FEINT]

tell me where you are and where you want to go EXACTLY!


Visit www.wises.co.nz and they have this DIRECTIONS thing that you put in your location and your destination and it tells you EXACTLY how to get there. You can even choose shortest or quickest route. Sorry, no twisty road option... :motu:

[Sutage]

this makes no sense ! i cant find the NW or the airbase on this site:(

[crashe]

Your profile says Titirangi.....
Are you still living out there...

Then head over to Te Atatu Rd.... and get to the motorway entrance.
Then head UP the motorway...
and follow above directions.

I have a huge map laid out on the floor to help you...

So post the street near you

Here's a link to the Wises site, with the map centred on Whenuapai Airbase (http://www.wises.co.nz/map/default.asp?street=BRIGHAM+CREEK+Road&suburb=WHENUAPAI&town=Auckland&sttype=&id=45827|2&svctype=1&mapwhich=0&mapsize=2&width=512&height=512&businesses=1&brad=25&color=-1&filled=0&routemethod=0&s_id=&radius=&a=0&e=2656080&n=6489300&zoom=2&move=true&zoomin=true). Use the the map navigation tools to work back to where you live.

[crashe]

i think i got it now

Ok head up Great North Rd.... up past the cementary...
Get to Glendene roundabout and turn into Te Atatu Rd.
Follow that road all the way past a set of lights past the roundabout (foodtown on your left) and head to the motorway.
At the motorway entrance turn LEFT and go all the way to the very end.
Turn Right into Hobsonville Rd..
then on your LEFT is Trigg Rd. Turn into Trigg Road...
Then you come to a T Junction...
turn left into Brigham Rd....
Then the entrance to the airbase is on your RIGHT.

But if you want to go the Westgate - Shell, then turn LEFT at the end of the motorway.The shall garage is on the left just before the roundabout.

Hope this helps you.

what Crashe said... i just copied it off the website.. :D

[Sutage]

thanks for help, gonna follow crashes route, hopefully should be right :P :D

[crashe]

New Lynn up to the motorway... 10 to 15 minutes... cos no traffic at that time..Motorway 5 to 10 minutes...
I travel from Tat south to New lynn regular..

Rata Street on Sunday has the Sunday markets.. Heavy traffic..

[Big Dave]

... thats too much back tracking.... head up Gt Nth ...

were you and I ever married?!

[crashe]

were you and I ever married?!

NO hehehehe

[justsomeguy]

What's wrong with the map I posted on Thursday??? Is it too confusing???

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=11536

[crashe]

Justsomeguy - Nothing..
Its just that Sutage is trying to get from Titirangi Rd up to westgate.. so thats why I have put up all the roads for him to get there...

[Motu]

No,Feint's right,I used to live not far from there on Croydon rd - just go down Titirangi rd,straight over the lights to Ash st,past Avondale race track,turn left down Rosebank rd and onto the NW at the end.That's one set of lights at New Lynn,one on Ash st,a free turn to Rosebank and one set halfway down.Keep it simple and flowing.

Motu... its shite getting past there on a sunday morning..
They have the Sunday markets there at the race course on every sunday...
I have gone throu there on the bike.... and its crazy traffic on sunday...
no one looks and cares..
Plus it will take him ages to get throu.

Best he goes the other way.... less stress before he has to do the course.

Under normal circumstances I would say go that way... but not on a sunday morning... it shite there from 6am til 12midday every sunday morning.

[justsomeguy]

Good instructions Motu:yes:

I've PM'ed him - telling him to RIDE STRAIGHT ... and keep on the main road....and turn at the FIRST motorway sign he sees....till the end....turn left...and see us in 2 mins...

Luckily he lives off Titirangi rd... so hopefully it'll be simple.

[bugjuice]

Sutage - dude, how do you live in Titirangi and not know where the NW is??!?!?! how do you get to the city for one? Doesn't matter if it's not on the bike, in the car, anyone else drive you down there???

[Motu]

Oh yeah,sunday market at Avondale,I always had to go through that to go to speedway on sundays.It seems to be worse these days since they put in ''medium density'' housing where all that open ground was,it could park a lot of cars for free.And with so many Asians there now,they haven't got a clue on how or where to park and then just wander around the roads in a dream.Any day but sunday morning.

Motu - Yep it sure has got real bad...

Sometimes I go down that way without even thinking...
and then I go "FARK its sunday duh!"
It takes friggen ages to get throu it all now.

People park all over the place, over people's driveways.. up on the grass. verge. The Auckland City council parking warden is out there just about every sunday issueing tickets, but it dont seem to stop them (the drivers) from parking illegallly.

Driving throu it now is a nightmare. Even on the bike I have had one or two scares...
