Tag o rama!

I'm of the opinion that this game has run its course and will probably hibernate until such time as some enterprising souls become interested again.

To this end, I have retrieved awa's last tag and set a new one - this in a place that I think befits a final tag. Round the east side of Kawhia Harbour (Harbour Road if you don't already know) is a wonderful quiet place that for some reason, has always felt restful to me.

So here it is. If anyone can be bothered continuing the game, please feel free. But if nobody can be arsed, then at least the tag is in a nice place.

I think you are right. Are any other regions Tag threads very active?. I've had some great rides involving the Waikato tag but picking the tag up usually happens if I was out for a ride in that direction.

I don't know that it had so much "run it's course" as that some of the recent tags were difficult to find if one isn't fully familiar with the area (unlike your latest). Without going back through the thread, I seem to recall a number of people calling dibs on tags that they then never went and collected. For some reason (weather? Economy?) it seems there's been less activity in general this year. The BOP tag game was also stalled last I looked. I think the game could tick along albeit slowly. However if this is the end, then I won't worry about heading out that way at all, and will leave it to its final resting place.

(Which is not to say that I am otherwise calling dibs on the tag)

Likewise. The reason I liked the game is that I got to go places I'd never have chosen for myself.

A pity. I'm only up in the Waikato twice per year, and never had any difficulty in finding the tags. I think that perhaps people weren't reading the clue that should be given with the photo.

However, it appears that similar things are happening all over the place with fewer tags being found. I recently moved the Otago Tag after it sat for 6 months. Perhaps it is because the most interesting tags have already been done and its harder to think of new ones.

It's a great ride our there...

It's a great ride our there...

One of my favourite rides in the Waikato.

The last tag is a good one clearly defined and a location that can at least be googled ... Not all people are from the Waikato and some tags do seem to go for a bit of local knowledge ... Also distance is a big factor but that's just my 5c until I actually get off my ass and get one haha

Well done that man!

Perhaps rumours of the game's death have been grossly exaggerated.


And yes, good day for a ride - from Ngaruawahia through Waingaro, up 22 to Heatherington Rd and back along the west bank of the river f'rexample...

I'm taking the scooter down through the back roads to Awakino tomorrow. Should be interesting, and no, I wont plant a new tag down there.
