    So don't ask Ixion then

    I can make it too. I'll consider it time well spent - a long-term investment in my future as a bikie commuter.

    Womble y'r way down the S'th'rn (presume y'can find that). Turn off at Mt Wellington (not the Southern Arterial). Right or left depending which way you come, and tootle along until y' come to where the Big Fresh used t' be until it became summat else. Servo on the other corner, church on the other turn corner , though y' wouldn't know that's what it was, cos y'can't see it.

    Turn left there, up the hill, wriggle around a bit, then a straightish bit with some bends , watch for cages pulling out on y'.

    Go over the motorway (y' prolly won't realise it's there), past where the refridgeration place used to be until they moved, turn right past where the timber yard used to be before they stuffed up the railways. Wriggle around a bit, then to the intersection opposite the gun shop where the dude shot that fella, left there, trickyish off camber downhill left (it's actually on the flat , but it seems down hill cos of the bridge). Womble round to the right, then left at the lights just by the gearbox shop, over the railway line.

    Go past the bad smell, and then hang a right, Rocksummatoruver Rd, and it's on the left.

    y' can't miss it, that's how I find it , anyway.

    Seemed straightforward enough to me.

    OK, here's another way.

    Southern motorway. Take the Ellerslie-Penrose exit. At the exit, go right if you're coming south down the motorway, left if you're going north.

    At the end of the ramp bit, should be a roundabout. Go left. That's Great South Road.

    Go down that until the next major set of lights. There, Great south Rd bends left. Instead, go straight ahead (it's actually a momentary right turn and a wiggle. Don't go hard right). That's Station Rd. Bends right just after the lights, then more lights. Go left there. That's O'Rourke Rd. You should ride over railway lines here, take care. First right is Rockridge Ave and the building's on the left. Sign on the outside of the building, though it's a bit hard to see cos there's a car park at the front of the building.

    Link to a mappy thing http://www.smaps.co.nz/nz/auckland/p...kridge+avenue/

    I can make the 14th now. So that sounds good. Anyone else up for a 6:30 meet with mr McCombs and then a ride to a suitable hospitality venue.
