Mmm, now there's a thought. Do it the other way to Pritch, pick you up on the East coast and head back over Annie. I'm liking that idea (if it was an offer) not that I'm desperate you understand but I do have a slight annoying tendency to get a wee bit lost from time to time and the Beemer has a tendency to shoot off in any old direction, it don't care where it's going as long as it's going.

Thinking, thinking, free time can be an issue, thinking, can I book you old friend for an adventure then? date and time as yet unspecified. I've got a world of crap going on for the foreseeable but it would be something to look forward to

Consider it 'pencilled' in. As long as you don't consider it a loose date...

'Pencilled in' is not a loose date, let's be clear on that! Cucumbers on the other hand!

As an "alien" of sorts you might find this list helpfull?

From memory the Coro Loop beloved of Jafas doesn't feature...

Ranking the rides becomes problematic as to where some start or end, but my own top 10 would be different to the Stuff list

Afterthought: Ignore the parochial comments by the South Islanders, most don't seem to have crossed the ditch. Some of them don't even seem to realise that Marlborough is in the South Island? It's true there are some great rides down there, including my personal favourite, but there are some up here too.

Thanks Pritch, I got your PM before I saw this post. Planning is now under way, can some one tell the weather gods what season it's supposed to be please, it's interfering with my exploratory tendencies.

By the way, I prefer import, immigrant, come-over, pom, the term 'Alien' was used by us as code to describe some lesbian relatives when the kids were growing up, much as the concept appeals to me, I am sadly massively over equipped in the trouser department to join the 'Alien' hoards.

Would love to do this if I can organise the time. Could ride on down from Taupo and meet you at Taihape (assume you are stopping/passing through there) and complete the loop back home to Taupo.

Good plan. Absolutely stopping at the Taihape BP, probably sometime either side of 1100, see you there with any luck!
