    What a killer thread this is, I wished I saw it sooner so I could have used it as an excuse to pootle out as well!

    I get deliberately lost all over the North Island intentionally - Disco Dan does it without even trying

    The funny thing is, if you told him to go into a circle and sit in the corner, he'd probably do it no prob! I love your work Disco Dan! You're as random and eclectic as they come

    Next trick ... sitting in the right lecture theatres at the right time? And as for stalling in Uni for years, I think I managed to attend it for 5 years before they awarded me my degrees and kicked me out! Hows that for being lost at Uni!

    If you're coming to the City Campus via the North-western motorway just follow the Port exit signs which will take you through the city to Stanley Street. At the first set of traffic lights turn left up Alten Road, then left onto Symonds Street. Park bike. Go to lecture. Return to bike. Go up Symonds Street, turn left at traffic lights down Grafton Road. Follow signs to Northwestern motorway. Note that the right-hand lane on the North-western connecting link now goes across the harbour bridge! But don't worry, you can turn around and head back into the city at the Onewa Road (c/- Ixion) interchange!

    I spent quite a few years wobbling round there, a good bit of it subterranean. But they have a whole heap of buildings now that weren't there then, and the ones that were there aren't now.

    But its all good cos I know where they used to be, and I just ignore the new shit. and its gotten all boring now, I was up there a while back at the Student Union for nearly a whole afternoon and noone got arrested at all.

    Only new bit thats good is the grad bar, thats a nice place.

    No you can't if you mean the Akorana drive interchange , or whatever its called - the one where the enormous blackberry patch used to be before they built the motorway.

    You can loop back at Onewa Rd, though I think it's a bit illegal but I regulalrly see cops doing it.

    Or you could get off by the old Harbour Bridge Authority Building, (its something else now), and ride through the secret underpass to the other side, then jiggle higgle round a bit of fence and you're back on the motorway going south. Assuming the secret underpass is still there, I must check that, there'll be trouble if it's not, that was one of the conditions for allowing the bridge to be built, if they've blocked the underpass they'll have to pull the bridge down.
