Cheers.

Ok Jim, just for you, it's between Hamilton and the city of Te Awamutu. Only dont take your bike as close as I did unless its dry.

I was gonna say, it looks wet when you took this and you'd be bloody keen to get that close in the wet. In saying that, you look like you've got one of those "floatation" tyres on the back of your bike

Quite a nice tag really. I'd say everyone has been past this tag more than once in their lifetime.

Here's something else for you Jim, it's on a road that demonstrates brilliant forward thinking by the council at the time WAY before it's time. And it seems no other council in NZ has shown since.

I thought I'd go for a ride after I got my cough syrup. I was gonna carry on with the grave yard theme but thought I'd just keep riding.

I dunno if the new one has been done before (the closer shot). I have a feeling it may have. If so, bugger off

Use the wider shot instead and it has to be a similar angle

If not, the wider shot is actually meant to be a clue but I don't think it'll be clear enough.

These "shacks" always made me laugh when I was a kid. I used to ride down this road while the folks run from in town. It's a cool road on any bike. If you go for a ride down it watch out for the "new seal" which isn't actually seal and it raw rock!

Nice to see you participating rather than just commenting. In this instance a further clue would be appreciated.
Cheers Jim

I know where it is, but will leave it for someone else to have a go.

Draw a triangle on a map with Ngaroto, Pirongia and Te A as the points. It's in there somewhere.

"Participation" is in the eyes of the beholder

Always "actively" participated though, was one of the originals. Lately I've been too slow with a number of them though.

Now Jim, I thought you'd be dead keen on doing some analyzing of photographic evidence to work out a clue?

The photo is even in the direction of Dunedin to make Robbie proud.

A lot more special than Sonic I. To be honest, I lose appreciation for it slightly once in a blue moon since I see it every day

Then my brain wakes up. haha

Yip

but I do keep it garaged and that's bigger than the house (background building). Gotta get the priorities right.

After 6 Weeks of study had 2 big exams today and passed both CPL Met&Nav.

I have a 2 weeks study break now so whos keen for a ride?

Old Tag: Ummm the red pump shed thingis? (took me 30 min to look for them, just used the 2 fonterra buildings for alignment)
New Tag: This one has been cropped because im sure every Hamilton person has been past this in the past 4 months.
Sorry for the shocking phone pics.

The "pump sheds" are actually the old toilets from the School that used to be there years ago. I think they had a sense of humour when they left them there because someone said something should be left to remind everyone there was a school. Obvious really.

I wasn't gonna be fussy with "photo placement" at all. Shit, you could have taken from the corner with the shit houses in the background and I would have said cool. It's about the ride isn't it?

Love the new tag. I say NO CLUES!!! If you don't know where this tag is (and you live in the area) you shouldn't be driving because you don't pay attention...but that's just me.

Well done on those exams Jake! Good stuff.

Sooooo...where were the "pump shed thingies" or dunnies as the case may be? I went cruising about this morning but didn't find them. Just as well, eh?
