OK UNFAIR This made me think it WASN'T in the city. Like I said "I've just come from there" but your statement above gave the impression it wasn't in the city!

That is exactly where I thought it was the second it was posted. However, when I said I had just come from there, the response was "I thought you worked in the city" implying it wasn't in the city.

There is one thing about putting up obscure tags but to then give incorrect information just doesn't cut it with me.

[aer0]

i didnt say it wasnt in town... was just trying to put confusion in everyones heads...
im guessing BMWST? lives somewhere near the city then??

[aer0]

sorry dude didnt mean to piss you off

Hehe, you were not far off... :)

There was a crew shooting a movie in that corner when I arrived. Funny enough, they didn't seem too surprised, so I guessed another biker had been there before me!

[BMWST?]

if you see where my quickest tag was that gives you an idea where i am...I think i am near Hawkeye,and i know i am very near to igorpeter
If that is the case then Hawkeye should have a good shot at the next tag...

ok for future refference delibratly giving missleading clues should be a no no:nono: was just assuming it was a mis-comunication

there was no one there when i was there but there seemed to be something going on in the carpark itself...I thought i saw you down near the stadium /railyards but it was a red jap cruiser bike and the guy wasnt playin tag

this building is 15 metres from the edge of the road,and there is a hard driveway(not sealed) to within 3 metres of the building.My bike is just off the hard driveway so wont be any problem for a road bike

It doesnt show up on a web search but i didnt think to try on the map.

Its on wadestown road,which is the back road up to wadestown not the main road most people go up.

[igormortis]

Ah, see what happens when you're away from the game for a while (a couple of hours :lol:) - I would've nabbed that waterworks one for sure!

[Cloggy]

It doesnt show up on a web search but i didnt think to try on the map.

Do a Google Image search for "Wellington Waterworks". It is right there on the first page, clicking on the link (http://images.google.co.nz/imgres?imgurl=http://www.panoramio.com/photos/original/8689487.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8689487&usg=__PPIsVw3e10gkngooQ5G1z7Wl61Y=&h=640&w=1024&sz=671&hl=en&start=10&sig2=hpxWWOZmtvYC9sP90kuXrw&um=1&tbnid=KesuJW87KNVBMM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwellington%2Bwaterworks%26hl%3Den%26l r%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1&ei=Qt9mStaKO4T-tAOF19TmDg) even gives you a map with a marker showing exactly where on Wadestown Road.
Now where's the next one?

[Jiminy]

Ah, I see. Need to improve my search skills :)

I was thinking: it's soon time to start visiting all those tags again in chronological order. Mind you, at this rate, there might not be enough time during the week-end to visit all the tags of the previous week!

google map search is even more direct,.type wellington waterworks

[Hawkeye]

iI think i am near Hawkeye

If that is the case then Hawkeye should have a good shot at the next tag...

Like I said BMWST, I think you think I live in the city. :no:

I had to travel to get this tag. The CB was sitting on the drive but I put that away and pulled the Katana out instead. Had I not done that, I would probably have beaten Laxi.

But Hey! I'm happy to share and catch up with people. So we now have a new stat to keep track of....Who has the most SHARED tags :hug::rofl:

Ah, see what happens when you're away from the game for a while (a couple of hours :lol:) - I would've nabbed that waterworks one for sure!
i was waiting for you to post it up!

Nah! Just been lucky at figuring out the locations and being prepared to jump on the bike at any time.

Hawkeye - I'm just going over to the other building for a meeting!
Team - OK.
Hawkeye - If anyone calls, just take a message
Team - OK

Team member to rest of team - Why has he taken his helmet and jacket to a meeting in the other building? :whistle:

[Hawkeye]

It's a 3 way tie with Laxi, aer0 and myself:clap:

Well there you go :niceone:
We are all learning something new. Who said playing tag was dumb and a waste of time.

Now where is that new tag, why wasn't it posted last night?:wait:
Was hoping to do an early, 5am or so, run to claim another one.

I can guarantee you will have ridden past this a number of times.
When I suggested this place to Laxi, he said he had never even noticed it was there, yet it is so obvious.

I'll give it until 12:30 and if it is still not found, I'll give a clue.

This sounds like fun... can anyone play?

Oooo! Another Hutt Valley player. Bring on the summer and the good weather.

[Drogen Omen]

so how do i grab a tag? do i just ride to the place where the photo was taken and try to get my bike in the same possition and take a photo that matches...?

[igormortis]

Yup, that's the gist of it. Then post up a new one to keep the game going.

[BMWST?]

just make sure the bike(or at least part of it) is IN the pic,eh Hawkeye!,simple rules found first post!

Rules are on the first post. First person to post the pic wins.

sweet... damn i drove the car in today so cant take the pic...

cause i think i know where this tag is...

[igormortis]

So who's gonna be insane enough to go grab the current one? :crazy: I'm nudging close to madness, but I still have no idea where it is!

what a day not to ride my bike in... i know exactly where both of those tags are... never mind i'll try for the next one if this gets solved before tomorrow.

[igormortis]

... i know exactly where both of those tags are...
Note that the first pic (waterworks) was finding the previous one. ie. only one tag at a time.

yeah i knew it from when it was posted lastnight but was not able to get out till just before. i thought it would be long gone as i wa sure BMWST works in town and knew where it was.
had to make a special trip all the way from my work (30kms) got quite wet and blown about.

i didnt recognise it in laxis picture but as soon as i saw your pic i knew instantly where it was!.I dont know if it was the roasd in front or the little bit of wall around it.

Your :crazy:

I thought the close up made it slightly harder to figure it out. The next clue was to put up a pic just like yours showing the rest of the wall.

Laxi took a pic of me sitting on the seat but it didn't come out as good as we had hoped so I posted my version instead.

[Laxi]

im told i need serious mental help
I think you're beyond help :bleh:

Sure did - I was trying to think of a building. The wall would've given it away instantly for me!

i can see a trend here....I thought the waterworks one would have been harder,but didnt count on other peoples photos n google maps,The owhiro rd reserve wasnt coverd by street view,the james smiths one wasnt covered by street view,photos being cropped to remove identifying info....:crybaby:

this one shoul be gone by tomorrow sorry Drogen Omen.


the reason i took it down, and something i should have clicked on alot earlier...
in 90% of my tags... if you open the exif data you can get EXACT gps location of the tag...

go back and check some of the past ones if you want

and i check what time you took them to see how far /fasrt you moved from teh tag ;)

[igormortis]

Well I just went out on the bike to do a few errands - it is NASTY out there. Not the rain so much, but the wind gusts! I actually had to pull over at one point because I was getting so far off line.

So be careful out there if you're mad enough to chase the tag. I'd have given it a go but short of visiting every BP in the region, I don't have a clue.

[BMWST?]

i can only think of one like that and i am checkin it on the way home....i gotta big bike an i gotta camera,me no worry about no wind

gutted...had to leave my bike at work and get a lift home from a workmates but yeah there is a slip so I'm stuck

Tried that. Just google 'BP Wellington' , 'BP Porirua', 'BP Hutt' , 'BP Kapiti'
Visited everyone of them on street view. I think it's in Picton.

At least if someone get's it then aer0 is out of the game due to leaving his bike in work and being stuck in a cage on Haywards. That at least gives the rest of us a chance:nya:

I second that Laxi. With a bit luck he will be stuck there for 3-4 days to give the rest of us a chance. :lol:

However, If his bike is stuck in work then we are going to have to wait until tomorrow for the next tag. :( (unless we allow him to use a 'file' tag :whistle:).

:Oops: Just realised that aer0 hasn't got the next tag, so there's no need for a 'file':slap:

Just used the Service Station Locator on the BP home page:
http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9028111&contentId=7051124

:)

The next tag will have to wait a couple of hours, just got something urgent landing on me. Will be back out before the end of the evening, though.

Ah! the mist obviously hasn't decended yet! Give it 2-3 tags and you'll be hooked like the other lost souls on here. Street View and Google maps becomes your mistress. Then you will start to sleep with your bike gear on 'just in case'.

SO! Where's the new tag Jiminy
:wait::wait::corn::corn::wait::wait::wait::corn:

Here it is :)

I thought I'd stick to murals. I'll see tomorrow if I need to give a clue, but I'm sure a few people will guess it straight away.

You might not be able to take a pic with your bike under the painting, so a pic of the wall and a pic of your bike a bit further away (it'll be easy to recognise the area) is fine.

Good luck!

[aer0]

[igormortis]

I would NEVER have thought about going up a carpark
Ha - that was the idea! Pay and display in that one - so no barrier. Probably weren't too impressed with a coupla loud twins roaring around in there this afternoon!

[Hawkeye]

awsome!!!! another inmate in the asylum:Punk:


Hook, Line and Sinker --- Sucker! :yeah::laugh:

[Hawkeye]

And while we are WAITING.........

I came across these:

that particular carpark is a pay and display one.

[Jiminy]

here it is... boya... my first one...

hehehehehe

Argl, I thought about that location for the new tag last night, but gave up because of the night.

Well done Drogen Omen. Seems you were addicted before even your first tag. Btw, where is the new tag? :wait::wait::wait::wait::wait::wait: :lol:

We're all waiting , and waiting.....:wait::wait::wait::wait::wait:

[Laxi]

we must be doing this wrong when it takes longer to get the tag posted up than it does to find them :lol:

[Drogen Omen]

ok :calm: here it is. sorry it took so long...

[Scout]

we must be doing this wrong when it takes longer to get the tag posted up than it does to find them :lol:

I think that is because the competition is so tight these days, no one wants to risk getting pipped at the post so there is always that Dilema whether to Grab the New Tag first - or after you've secured the last.:shutup:

[aer0]

nice tag dude :D i knwo the spot but have had a few beers so not going out tonight..

my first day in a few days without a tag :S

[Sketchy Snr]

Us Kapiti folks are going to need a little heads up to prepare the sneak attack on the weekend Tags, We need the Welly boys distracted tonight till at least 2am so they are all still snoozing for the dawn raid.:buggerd:

I think your right there Scout, they are looking like they are going to keep it pretty tight and well out of our grasp. We need a cunning plan:shifty:

[Laxi]

Charltons bar, silverstream

[Drogen Omen]

good one mate... didnt think some one would get it so quickly...

[Scout]

[Hawkeye]

good one mate... didnt think some one would get it so quickly...

Welcome to the asylum Drogen. You will be amazed at what happens in here.
As Laxi said earlier, the tags are being found faster than they can be posted.

At this rate we will be finding them before they are even posted :lol:


So Laxi, where is the next one:wait:

[Laxi]

nice tag dude :D i knwo the spot but have had a few beers so not going out tonight
could have told me that earlier, wouldnt have had to email the crap phone pic to the wife to post, gotta compete with that damn iphone ya knows!

good one mate... didnt think some one would get it so quickly...
well judging by your location, I was expecting it to head this way, and I must have ridden past that 30 times this year going into whitemans valley

Yea work has prob got the best of him right now...but wait till the weekend i am sure he will be out and about for it rain hail or shine :)

google street view ftw,i first though it was mt vic tunnel but street view said no...seatoun was the one i next looked at,and it even shows the little yellow boat on the RHS!You can just see part of it in my pic

Yeah! I done the same thing. Except I tried about 5 other tunnels first. Eventually got it. Good job those hailstones started. I would just be reaching the tunnel about now.

The wine is open now so I'm out of it until tomorrow!

[Jiminy]

Aye, I could not reasonably let this one rest for the night :)

[Dakar]

[Jiminy]

you've done it again Jiminy

Oops, sorry Dakar. Maybe we should make a team :)

Anyway, here is the new tag! I had to edit a couple of bits to hide obvious information. Good luck :scooter:

[Hawkeye]

Well, just get ya dirt bike in the pic! And grab the ADV tag while you're at it...

Ah! He's not quite hooked in yet igorpeter. He obviously needs another tag in his count before he becomes a totally lost soul like the rest of us.

[Laxi]

Well, just get ya dirt bike in the pic! And grab the ADV tag while you're at it...

[BMWST?]

TAH DAhhhhhhhh-

cmon guys(aer0/scout) i have asked before to state where the tag is so everyone knows AND the map can be done(and the stats sheet)That gate looks familiar somehow.

I also thought jiminy would pop out again and was gonna repay the favour to replicate sinfulls 2 am grab,but .....

Sorry it was so dark. I was trying to get a tag out of town and tagged a few locations, but all my pics were crap. That one was probably the most recognisable one :(. And I didn't want to make you wait until I'd be up in the morning, well, now :whistle:

Good news is: I've finally recharged my other camera, so things will be better now :)

And well done Scout! Looking forward to a ride or two to the Kapiti coast :clap:

[devo]

[Scout]

New Tag,
Will save the Clues for now, and see how it goes for people.

[Cloggy]

Anyone in the Hutt / Welly keen for a ride and perhaps go hunt tags on the coast?
Could we make three or four way shared tag maybe?

[aer0]
