Hi

Off up North from Welly - first stop Auckland to see the rellies then over to Gt Barrier for a few days at a bach, great place to chill, walk, sail, swim, dive, sit in hot stream.. but mainly to relax. Then maybe up to Bland bay to catch up with Don and talk Porsche Targa cars. Home again via the East Cape.. maybe.
Give me a wave if you see the Caterham.
Happy Christmas and happy blatting for the new year.
Iain

Gorgeous, Kylie! Hey Iain, let me know if you need somewhere to park up the Caterham while you're on the Barrier-we're about 5k from the Ferry Building!

Thanks Fraster... we are flying out of Ardmore so will probably leave the car in a hanger. The advantages of having a bro in law who likes playing with planes.. We are probably going out in a Cirrus SR22. Great way to travel if the 7 can't do it..

Hi all just a quick note, hope you are having a great xmas.
I love staying here in Te Anau, I have been looking through the local property press as we speak hehe Why not wink

Yesterday spent an hour being flown into the mountains and a walk around up there with my parents, was really special as dad spend most of his years in this region lifting deer out with choppers so bought back some fond memories for him. Anyway will get some alpine pics up soon. Off to Milford Sound tom for the day. Its a tough life biggrin

All the best
K smile

thumbup Sounds great, I'm just relaxing in Timaru. Catching up with mates, re-acquainting myself with some fun roads I used to know quite well, investigating the new mountainbike tracks etc, good times in general. smile
