Hi Kit
Haven't been through it since they completed sealing the last section, so long overdue trip planned this summer. Looking outside today I can't help wonder if it will ever arrive! Cheers.

It is a lake, but you're too far south.

So where is it?

Summer is a shit season for riding bikes.
Stinking hot ... sweat running down inside your leathers.
Tar melt... sliding all over the place.
Heat haze ... harder to see.
Half asleep cagers all over the place.
Spring is best.
Stop waiting. The best time is here.

You are a hard worker, and so I will give you that one. Close...

It is the home Marae of the Super Maori Fullas (Think "White Ribbon" and "It's Not OK" campaigns). I respect them highly and went visiting them a few days ago on my tour. I always wanted to have a pic of me in front of that same Marae. And it is in Herekino.

Here a link: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...d.php?t=111686

And their pic, that inspired me, attached

Bling given.
