CaMpylobacter Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 For all the non-tour of love peoples. What's the plans for heading north on Thursday? I'll be heading out of Feilding around 10am at this stage. Prolly scoot up through the not so direct route via Paeroa to take a picture of my french car next to a fizzy bottle and drink Alan Pee.

Testament Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 FYI this is quite a good route to take from the south up to thames, basically getting off the main highways at matamata and going along nice straight flat country roads with no traffic https://www.google.co.nz/maps/dir/Taupo/Coroglen+Tavern,+State+Highway+25,+Whitianga/@-37.4286412,175.7000955,10z/data=!4m24!4m23!1m15!1m1!1s0x6d6bef77144b165b:0x500ef6143a309e0!2m2!1d176.0702098!2d-38.6856924!3m4!1m2!1d175.8150583!2d-37.7789676!3s0x6d6db103bdfb87c5:0x1300ef610696bef0!3m4!1m2!1d175.7963333!2d-37.6839058!3s0x6d6dbb03a9c1a3a9:0x1300ef6106e75050!1m5!1m1!1s0x6d7266d6db2992b5:0x24598990a81d2e13!2m2!1d175.691632!2d-36.92381!3e0?hl=en if you want more uppy/downy/side to side go accross to the kaimai side of the river/paeroa way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Testament If I go that way is it well sign posted as to where I am going????
