Okay, which corner is the green house on?The corner with the green house with white house behind it with a car port with a green bike parked under it.

Meanies Green house must be on the corner with the green car, just next to the green party sign and next door to the green bike. Am I right? What does this tell you about Ashhurstonians?

[mowgli]

The corner with the green house with white house behind it with a car port with a green bike parked under it.
Thanks Bonez. Helpful as ever :)

If anyone notices a Trumpy cruising the streets of Ashurst suspiciously on Tuesday there'll be no need to call the cops :)

[Bonez]

Meanies Green house must be on the corner with the green car, just next to the green party sign and next door to the green bike. Am I right? What does this tell you about Ashhurstonians?Nope...... He does have green gate though iirc.

Tells me I need to look for a white house on a back section. Anything green will get me lost. Yup, makes sense :whistle:

Thats what ya'll said when we were there...9.30 lights out (cowboys needs his beauty sleep) and what happened?....

[mowgli]

No no no the white house isn't on a back section and anyway thats cowboyz aboad.

Yeah but sounds like Cowboyz might have the only non-green house which would make it easier to spot than Meanie's

[KiwiKat]

I hope EJK has directions to the green house because he's gone off line and I don't even know how to find the damn map.

[Mom]

What does this tell you about Ashhurstonians?

They live in green houses and white houses?


Nope...... He does have green gate though iirc.

That gate is also idiot proof with its locking device, I know, I could not open it :first:

[Monie]

Out the gate right right right and right again
you are so funny... lolololololo




trun right at pub if coming from palmerston..... if from feilding go over railway bridge.. and then you will come across a green bike under the car port no that not us and on that same courner you then turn right round the courner and you are there.. lol ok have you got all that.... 16 short Ashhurst...for anyone else

[KiwiKat]

you are so funny... lolololololo

16 short Ashhurst...for anyone else

Where can I get one of those 16 Short Ashhurst peoples. I could do with some.

Sounds easy.

[cowboyz]

On behalf of all recent arrivals to the area, address please?

we dont have address's in Ashhurst. the postman comes by and if it is a cheque we accept it, if its a bill we pass it to the next house. Actually, thinking about it I am starting to feel sorry for the guy at the end of the street.


Meanies Green house must be on the corner with the green car, just next to the green party sign and next door to the green bike. Am I right? What does this tell you about Ashhurstonians?

Funny enough. It IS a green house and he HAS a green car and there IS a green bike next door. I will make up a sign and you will have it spot on.


If anyone notices a Trumpy cruising the streets of Ashurst suspiciously on Tuesday there'll be no need to call the cops :)

meh, wont look out of place round Ashhurst.

Thats what ya'll said when we were there...9.30 lights out (cowboys needs his beauty sleep) and what happened?....
I am thinking it could be revenge time. Being as it is such an occasion I feel everyone should bring streamers and confetti and rice.


They live in green houses and white houses?

Meanie live in the green house - he shouldnt throw stones.
Cowboyz lives in the white house - ?????????????????????
That gate is also idiot proof with its locking device, I know, I could not open it :first:

I hate to tell ya, thats not an idiot proof device, its an IQ test to see if you are smart enough to live in ashhurst. Thats why we had to let you go and you didnt get kidnapped. Wonder how EJK will do..........

[cowboyz]

trun right at pub if coming from palmerston.....
Sinful! This means you have to go PAST a pub!
if from feilding go over railway bridge.. and then you will come across a green bike under the car port
of course, that is if I am home.
no that not us
and on that same courner you then turn right round the courner and you are there.. lol ok have you got all that.... 16 short Ashhurst...for anyone else
with directions like that I am surprised you make your own way home......


Where can I get one of those 16 Short Ashhurst peoples. I could do with some.

Sounds easy.

Short Ashhurst peoples are not easy - some of them are quite firey

[KiwiKat]

Short Ashhurst peoples are not easy - some of them are quite firey

Short, fiery ..... red? Why does that not surprise me. How many of them are there.

[Meanie]

Easy to find, when coming from PN keep left of the Mobil station and Short Street is the first Street on the right, Pubs on the corner, we are at the other end of Short Street towards the george
Well give the publican a desription of Sinfull and tell him hes a nutter escaped from Otaki, that should save having to go look for him

[sinfull]

you are so funny... lolololololo

I'll be meeting EJK tomorrow near Wellington. Paced trip back. Won't be heading out of the capital probably before 4pm so looking at 6.00pm to 6.30pm arrival.

What's the recommended best bypass (PN) route in the wet.

What's the recommended best bypass (PN) route in the wet.

turn off at Kimberly road (just south of Levin) its signposted .. back through shannon, linton & turn off at old west road & back road to Ashhurst .. bout 40 mins from Levin to Ashhurst just watch the roadworks around the opiki turn off but last time I went through it was all good

[cowboyz]

take the shannon road (turn off just before Levin and go round back of Levin)

then when you get closer to palmy take old west road which is the one that runs out the back of massey. that will take you to summerhill drive. then turn right at the top of summerhill, go aoekatree and striaght on to ashhurst.

[cowboyz]

yeah, what she said

[KiwiKat]

Thanks Chanceyy and Cowboyz. (are you two twims or something) That'll cut some time off. Traffic is likely to be hectic for a while.

[chanceyy]

Thanks Chanceyy. that'll cut some time off. Traffic is likely to be hectic for a while.

If you get out of wellington before just before 4 you should be ok .. after that you will hit it around Plimmerton & it will be slow til you get to the double lanes before pram (double yellow & careful about lane splitting) .. then between pram & waikanae can be quite slow .. after that it should be pretty much plain sailing from that point

[KiwiKat]

Check my edit.

[Meanie]

Probably wont come out to meet you now, Kiwikat has it under control.
When you come into Ashhurst from Aokautetre, turn right towards township off main road and then just as you come round the bend turn left into Short street, we are round the corner, no 16
Hafe a safe one guys

[mowgli]

I'd like to be the first to say a big thank you to Meanie and Monie for hosting a great mid-week barbeque. Dave and I even squeezed in a ride through the gorge and back over the saddle :)

Nice to meet you EJ. I hope your luck with the weather remains through your journey home. Ride safe.

[cowboyz]

Yeah, great night, thanks to Meanie & Monie for hosting, and great to meet you EJK.

It was only as we were chatting and he mentioned his former Scorpio that I realised EJK used to have a much longer handle on KB and was the EJK of the legendary "binning his scorpio while photographed getting knee-down" thread. Great to meet you, and hope you enjoy your trip back norf!

Oh and cowboyz: behave yourself! :laugh:

[Meanie]

Thanks all for coming and making it an awesome night. Monie counted 35 at one stage. Ill take EJ for a short spin over the saddle tomorrow to look at the wind farm.
Great to meet you EJ, hope my kids dont scare you off having your own one day

Brilliant night out Meanie and Monie, and I even got talked (told) into the four points lol. Good to meet EJK and catch up with others :rockon:

[KiwiKat]

Great to meet some of you at the BBQ. Sorry I couldn't stay but thanks for the invite. Was there any of that awesome pie?

I had a nice quiet run down to Wgtn and back with EJ which helped me sort the bike out a bit better. I spent a bit of time playing with robots and did a quick ride round the bays and through the city.

I hope you didn't tire EJ too much, he pedals that bike damned well.

Biggest gust I saw here at Ohakea was 39kts (72kph) in the afternoon. We flew in the morning before it got too gusty. The Bell 47G Sioux cruises around 60kts (111kph) and being so light is hugely affected by wind.

EJK, that was no mean feat braving the wind on a small bike and making your destination safely. Well done and may your good fortune continue.

Many years ago I picked up (and perhaps dropped) some searchers there but that was an Iroquois. From memory we were conducting a hut search to figure out the movements of an overdue tramper.

Edit: i think the searchers were all local cops and remember dropping the last group at Palmy airport.
