So, what I'm saying is this
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sadd...9&ie=UTF8&z=12

We go Piha for short ride, then goto One tree hill and have coffe/tea there (alcohol if you prefer)

Meet us at the front of Uni Gym 9-9:30am

Leave uni at about 9:30am
EDIT:Second meeting place will be "mobil on lincon rd"

Then some people probly miss that one so we goto cafe/restaurant at Waiatarua, top of Piha road for third meeting place.

What you reckon guys?

Zim if you want to we could meet you at titirangi village 10am. Probly most of us have to fill up in there.
