Nobody came roaring out with their shotgun when I went in and got the pic so you oughta be OK...probably..maybe...

Maybe I really should print out the clues as well as the current tag to help in my endeavors. First checked google maps, looks like a nice little loop so will go down Howdens Road. No luck, so turn around and go back for Wallace Road. Ride to the end and see something about no admittance, Rottweilers on the loose etc etc, I though that it seemed an unusual way to stop people going down there but "Hey Ho" Slofox did say something about not meant to be down there. YES there are ROTTWEILERS on the LOOSE at the end of the driveway. Thankfully they were tame...ish and didnt rush me until I had manage to turn the whale around in the narrow drive. So slowly pootle back down the road until I find where I originally intended to be.

New Tag is situated on Slofoxs' favourite piece of tarmac (your favourite was SH1 wasnt it Slofox?)

Hey St_Gabriel, can you please be a bit more forthcoming with details of the whereabouts of your tags? This one is as bad as the childrens playground tractor; i.e. unless you already know where it is you're never going to find it. "SH1" isn't much of a clue, sorry.

Sorry about the lack of clues on this one Aristocat, on second viewing it is quite vague, though you should be able to deduce that the tag is located on SH1 so limits the roads you must travel, and if you look at the picture (click on it then make it original size) you will be able to see a couple of signs, one being a Mitre 10 Mega logo, one being for Fitness fusion, and then a tall sign with lots of little signs which is usually indicative of an industrial estate. Hmmm, lets put these clues together shall we????

The idea is to get out and explore, maybe PM the tagger for further clues or a resignation that you have no idea.

But anyhow, try going here 37.89313 South, 175.47539 East and hell, if thats even too hard to figure out click HERE

Look a bit more closely. The reflection, with the help of a phone book gives you the address.

Yep i found it pretty easy.

Well done St Gab. I should have warned you not to go to the end of the road I suppose...Lucky you didn't get eaten up.

I know your pain took me 1 hour to render This Video of my Hampton Downs ride then another 6hours to upload 13min of HD. Then another hour to buffer it on youtube in 1080P

P.S. another Honda ride day coming up in January. Give Hamilton Honda a call.

Will try and make it to the Honda ride. Just realised i stuffed up the video render so that is a few hours wasted. Not having the best day

7 minute video is only going to take 30 minutes. Forgot to take out the bucklands road footage and the 30 minutes of sitting in my mates driveway haha.....
