    Blah Tide going a touring...

    Hi All

    Well I've been forced to take some leave at work... something about having too many days owing blah blah etc... so I've decided to do a tour of the North Island...

    Rough plans are as follows

    Leave Auckland to Tauranga 3rd Dec
    Tauranga to Napier 4rd Dec
    Napier to Wellington 5th Dec
    Wellington to New Plymouth 6th Dec
    New Plymouth to Auckland 7th Dec

    What I am looking for is to meet some of the KB folk around the north island, possible places to stay or a couch if not asking too much...

    woo hoo... can't wait...

    Seeya all soon...

    I would offer you place in Napier but unfortunately I won't have a flat. Pm Mstrs and Tart though I'm sure they will put up with you for one night hehehehe.

    You're welcome to stay chez O'Connor for the New Plymouth leg. There's a small chance I'll be offshore, but looking likely I'll be home.

    As long as you are not allergic to the barking bookends.
    Illuc ivi, illud feci.

    Might make him leave his bike outside too so ours don't catch anything

    Hey! What's wrong with the Cental North Island???? Doing it the way you have planned you will miss some of the best roads. Turn right at Wanganui and come for a pie at Raetihi - and if you want to stay at the airport I'll waive the landing charges seeing as we have already met!

    Depends. If you want to meet in roto then maby? (we could even backtrack into the BOP and go down back roads). Can you handle gravel roads?

    mmm have very limited experience on Gravel... so not too keen but if it is not too bad may give it a try... will be in Tauranga so will either follow the coast then to Roto or goto Roto... via Pyas Pa... so am open to various options...
