This week on Wednesday night (because the weather looks the best at this stage but no intention of disrupting the climbers). There is going to be some mid week madness

The trip will be an easy walk into the Wellington Hills on Wednesday evening.  No specific destination at this stage but am looking at Skyline walkway or the eastern hills.  It will be a short trip suitable for anyone and a good chance to get out for a mid week break hopefully catching some nice views of the city at night.

Of course you will need a couple of items like rain coat (just in case) a torch, warm clothes and some okish footwear.

I will be along tomorrow with a sign up sheet or just send me and email or text 021 04 00 989

Costs will be stuff all.  Just the odd dollar or 2 to petrol or a train.

It will be awesome.

Craig

Awesome, I still have your bottle of wine - I will bring it along

For everyone else - you dont want to miss out on views that could look like the following but maybe more nighty

Righto here we go – It is time for mid week madness.  It wont be too mad due to this other thing called mid week laziness.  But it will be fun and it will be in the hills and could progress into Madness

So here is the plan: 

Kaukau and parts of skyline

Meeting 6:15 pm End of Clark Street Khandallah

We are going to meet at the end of Clark street in Khandallah Clarke street is near Regans but instead of turning off to Glentui (Regans driveway) keep your foot firmly planted on the accelerator until you hit a turning circle with trees in the middle – steer to avoid the trees and park somewhere not in the trees but that is optional.  http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

Getting there

To avoid 10 people turning up in 10 different cars there is a salad of transport options available.

• I have my car in town and will be leaving about 5:30pm if anyone wants a lift – I can drop people back in afterwards
• There is the magic train Johnsonville line get off at box hill
• Some others will bring cars so if you need a lift let me know
• Regan you can walk!

Plan

Option 1: 

This is the more lazy of options.  Start at Truscott ave in Johnsonville and walk over Kaukau to Clarke street

Option 2: 

Not as lazy, Start at Clarke street end up at Heke street for drinks

Option 3: 

Getting not so lazy, Start at Karori and walk to Clarke street

Option 4: 

Put on camo face paint and clothing, Arrive flying in formation into Wilton bush in an Iroquois helicopter (it may look like a laser but we will ignore that) jump out, roll around in the bush then go looking for Charlie.  Where and when we come out will be unknown and there may be some heavy losses.

What you will need

Clothes preferable – Actually it is a really good idea to have warm clothes and a rain coat because there is pretty good ventilation up there

Head torch – although given history this seems to be optional for people who’s name begins with C.

Food wine beer spirits – could have some sort of picnic up there looking at the nice view.

Anyway let me know if you are coming or need a lift or turn up at 6:15 Clark street
