It's certainly the last place I would want to go down when I'm by myself.
    There is also the time factor. On the week-end, people have more time available to go wider afield. Mid week, family/work commitments limit riding time, so the need to keep the tag reachable in a reasonable short time frame becomes more important.
    Once daylight saving kicks in and the weather warms up a bit (at night), then distance becomes less important.

    Just my 2c worth.
    dont forget the kapiti guys too are a relatively new to the game too....once a few got involved it got a life of its own....who knows,all it will take is a couple of 'rapa riders and .......I feel cloggy is on his way tho.....

    Hey - sorry if it sounded like i was sulking. Thats not the case at all. I just a bit dissapointed that the interest that I had thought was here seemed to have disappeared. Thats all. If the weathers fine on the weekend I will be taking the monster to Kapiti so may have to make that my tagging playground. So hopefully will see you racing to a tag over there somewhere
    Anyway - it seems to be resting on cloggys shoulders now (i hope). God forbid it be stuck here forever.

    Dont be sorry Quasi, you were squarely invited to join in, and the game needs to move through some new Patch's, have you seen the Tag map of late. We in Kapiti will be happy to have an extra player or two in the region over the weekends, but you should not feel obliged to move out of your district just to take part .......... as the boyz have said, once daylight savings starts there is going to be a big shift in the game play and the number of regulars.

    Nope didn't go fishing. The weather over the hill is indeed nicer than it is here in Welly. Although sunny on both sides of the hill, there is hardly a breath of wind in the Wairarapa whereas it is kind of breezy here in the Nui.
    Anyway, the tag was Dalefield Hall on Thomas Road just out of Carterton.

    And while we are waiting for someone to find the next tag..
    a bit of useless information which I gathered while waiting.
    Maybe some statistics which Paul can put on the scoreboard if he so desires.
    Decided to look at the distances travelled between tags based upon average distances over the last 151 tags.
    As the crow flies, the distance travelled over all 151 tags is 2010km which equals 13.31km between tags.
    Shortest distance by road is 2927km, an average of 19.38km between tags.
    Both these distances do not include the distance travelled from one's home to get a tag or getting home after placing a tag.
    There ya go, a bit of useless trivia.
