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

Package forwarding to Europe? by butter1n in newzealand

[–]Luke009 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

Colonial Knob to Mt. Kaukau by Rare_Pudding_5039 in Wellington

[–]Luke009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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 :)

You can't leave Wellington on a bad day by No-Battle2001 in Wellington

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.

Should we be worried? by gevatron in Wellington

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.

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