So! aer0 is going for yet another record. The tag that lasts the longest.

Two bloody days and no one has got this one yet. I haven't got a clue where this is. (But I know I'm going to kick myself once it's location is revealed).

Come on aer0 we need clues (like GPS location) :laugh:

back on topic here...
hawkeye, laxi, cloggy where are you guys?
Been out of action since our meet on Sunday. Picked up some stomach bug and .... well you probably don't need to know the details.
Anyhow, back to this tag.
If the clues are in:
"good to see im still coming first....
doesnt look like many people care tho "
and
"the building belongs to an organisation known throughout new zealand but for something they do everywhere but here"
then I haven't got a clue either.
Going by the shade and on the assumption this picture was taken Monday morning we are looking in a South-West direction, I am picking somewhere around the Whitby - Porirua area as aer0 probably took this on his way to work.

Yes, Aero has been slipping out the clues bit by bit, and damn that building looks Oh so familiar, but Buggered if i can link any of the "Leads" to anything in Google - This is however the name of the game, every now and then there is going to be one that stumps us.......... he he, 25 in one week, try one in 25.

It was certainly an interesting place to try and turn the bike around up there on Mt Cecil Rd. Quite a lot steeper than the pics suggest, single lane, loose gravel, pot holes etc. Ohh the joys of tagging on a sports bike with a 2km turning radius. Took about a 7 point turn. :laugh:

Nope, No Closer, But Damn I think that is one of the tags i had planned for a redelivery to the Boyz from Town.

Didn't go after the tag. On such a good day like today, there was only one place I was going to hit and that was the Takas. Quick blast over the hill and out to Martinborough for coffee. Then a good blast over again and home before it got too cold.
What a day, perfect conditions for golf and for a ride. LIfe can be sweeeeet sometimes.

Ha Ha, figured out the Epiha St - Big Save Paraparaumu about 9.30 last night, but pretty much sucked the fuel tank Dry again following the trip back from Palmy and the chase of the st Theresa's Tag, not to mention trying to find a Night time friendly Tag after picking it up so I left it - Im impressed that the Wellington Lads still have the Enthusiasm to do a late night run, but it blows me away that Sketchy is still just as eager to go Hunt it down and bring it back.....

Well that's it for me. 9:30 am a beautiful Sunday morning. I've been waiting since last night for the new tag (I've been up since 6am waiting) but it doesn't appear to be coming so I'm out of here.

Have fun chasing it guy's. I'll not be hunting this one because I can't be arsed waiting any longer.:bye:

Struth, untouched and unloved all day this one - is it set in stone or something????. With Todays weather at least Two Dozen Townies must have past this while doing one of their favourites, i know Hawkeye gave it a miss because the New Tag wasnt up before he set out this morning, which is a shame coz im sure it would have been right up his ally.
let me bet, the sun will go down, the temperature will fall through the floor and then it will be all GO.:sunny::scooter::chase:

Yep, Was not taggin at all today because i had chores to do, but popped in to check this arvo and had it located within about 5 mins. Had to bite my lip but I knew that ecko nzed had done the best he could with last nites grab and todays placement, and knew that we had all given him a revvin this morning even though he was probably goin hell for leather to keep the game on track, also Knew that hawkeye was probably off over the hill again today beacuse he said it was one of his favourite rides and thought there would be Hell to Pay once he returned home today ................................STILLLLLL I understimate the power of the Tag, the mad man actually turned around and went back after it, and now that the Thermometer is nearing Zero and it's sunday night and we all have to work tommorrow the game steps it up a notch again.
This thing is a Madness I tell you.

As much as I would love to just jump on the bike and ride, some people have to actually work during the week. Which is why the tag was brought back over the hill on Sunday night. The thought of putting on all of the gear, riding over the hill in the dark and the cold again mid week only to find someone else has already got the tag just doesn't appeal somehow. Especially after a full day at work. Your welcome to it boy's. :yawn:

I searched for hall, hall Wairarapa, 1898, websearch, image search, searched for halls on Google maps (found an aweful lot except this one), hall Featherston, hall Greytown, hall Gladstone and any other town name I could think off.
Nothing, nadda, niks......:crybaby:

As much as I would love to just jump on the bike and ride, some people have to actually work during the week. Which is why the tag was brought back over the hill on Sunday night. The thought of putting on all of the gear, riding over the hill in the dark and the cold again mid week only to find someone else has already got the tag just doesn't appeal somehow. Especially after a full day at work. Your welcome to it boy's. :yawn:

Me thinks telling Dakar to HTFU may have been the Catalyst to "Rapa Week" for the Kapiti Tag which we sometimes share with you folk .........:gob::lol:

OK got it now. Now I also know why I couldn't find it. The marker on Google Maps for this hall was in the wrong place. It was right on the intersection of the two roads, about 200 metres from the actual place. Problem with that was that if you looked in streetview, there is actually a building on that corner which looks like a hall but not the one where are looking for, so I discounted this location. So I have now updated the location in Google Maps in case someone else in the future might be looking for this location.

November eh? Sound like a plan, see if the Trumpy really is good for 260. It get up near that speed (indicated) mighty quickly so it may do it.

Now..... fishing or the tag??:confused:

No Quasi, It doesn't need to be that way. I'm quite happy for it to end up in the Rapa at the week-ends. The fun is in the ride going to get it. But being from the UK, I know how black ice can cause chaos on the roads. And that hill is not good in the dark especially when the temp drops. It's certainly the last place I would want to go down when I'm by myself.
There is also the time factor. On the week-end, people have more time available to go wider afield. Mid week, family/work commitments limit riding time, so the need to keep the tag reachable in a reasonable short time frame becomes more important.
Once daylight saving kicks in and the weather warms up a bit (at night), then distance becomes less important.

Just my 2c worth.

Hey - sorry if it sounded like i was sulking. Thats not the case at all. I just a bit dissapointed that the interest that I had thought was here seemed to have disappeared. Thats all. If the weathers fine on the weekend I will be taking the monster to Kapiti so may have to make that my tagging playground. So hopefully will see you racing to a tag over there somewhere:woohoo:
Anyway - it seems to be resting on cloggys shoulders now (i hope). God forbid it be stuck here forever.

Dont be sorry Quasi, you were squarely invited to join in, and the game needs to move through some new Patch's, have you seen the Tag map of late. We in Kapiti will be happy to have an extra player or two in the region over the weekends, but you should not feel obliged to move out of your district just to take part .......... as the boyz have said, once daylight savings starts there is going to be a big shift in the game play and the number of regulars.

Nope didn't go fishing. The weather over the hill is indeed nicer than it is here in Welly. Although sunny on both sides of the hill, there is hardly a breath of wind in the Wairarapa whereas it is kind of breezy here in the Nui.
Anyway, the tag was Dalefield Hall on Thomas Road just out of Carterton.

And while we are waiting for someone to find the next tag..:wait::wait:
a bit of useless information which I gathered while waiting.
Maybe some statistics which Paul can put on the scoreboard if he so desires.
Decided to look at the distances travelled between tags based upon average distances over the last 151 tags.
As the crow flies, the distance travelled over all 151 tags is 2010km which equals 13.31km between tags.
Shortest distance by road is 2927km, an average of 19.38km between tags.
Both these distances do not include the distance travelled from one's home to get a tag or getting home after placing a tag.
There ya go, a bit of useless trivia.
:yawn: :whocares:

11th August 2009, 20:42
i have thought of distances but my thoughts were from the persons home to the tag and back...say for me to martinborough is wellington to martinborough = 80.9kms,for you it is 75 kms,for hawkeye,lower hutt to martinborough is 66.5 kms.The tag place could be exact of course,and each persons location can be called by them,ie i might elect to say wellington or miramar...someone else could be lower hutt or say maungaraki.once i have a persons location that would be a hidden column in the stats sheet
