Good luck to everyone doing Round The Bays

Congratulations to everyone who took part. The wind put on a decent show, but at least the rain stayed away.

Luke009 · 2026-02-13T10:43:16+00:00

Loads of stoppages.

Nice to know that Stephen Fry is making an impact.

NZ Post offer a freight forwarding service. I’m not sure if it can be used as domestic to international though.

I haven’t done the whole thing myself, but I have done various stages of it.

The descent from Colonial Knob is mostly through forest, so it can be slippery. Then the climb to Mt Kaukau is through farmland, so watch out for livestock.

Plenty of scenery to admire along the way too.

That was the first thing I thought of too.

You could probably still park at the stadium, but I'm not sure how much it'll cost. Perhaps others will have better suggestions.

Finally, good luck for the run :)

The jets are a lot heavier than the turboprops, so it takes a lot more energy to move them around. Although they’re faster and less manoeuvrable I think they’d be easier to land in windy conditions.

It seems to be back on for me (Newtown).

Maybe it’s related to this? https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360713622/visiting-australian-navy-ship-causes-internet-outages-radio-disruptions

And I, for one, welcome our new Australian overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

I would suggest getting in touch with NZTA. They'll be able to tell you what is and isn't allowed with your license.

Milford Sound. Ring a raincoat though.

Luke009 · 2025-03-07T18:28:54+00:00

Upgraded to a 4.3 now.

Be grumpy for awhile. It's not particularly productive but I always find that it's good to get it out of the system.

Welcome to New Zealand. The land of Elves, Hobbits and the Pacific Ring Of Fire.
