    There are a 4 or 5 within 10 mins drive of central Lower Hutt. I think they are all of a similar quality too.

    There is a slight amendment to the route...

    For those running 98 ie Wynne, Kenneth & I, we will need to stop at BP Mana rather than Melling, as they have decided to stop selling 98, as Wynne found out tonight.
    @Kenneth, if you havent booked yet it might be an idea to find something in the Mana/Plimmerton/Paremata area. Let me if need some help.

    Thanks Jeremy. It looks like we will be staying at the Bay Plaza Hotel, 40-44 Oriental Parade, Wellington, NZ

    It looks a bit out of the way, but it shouldn't be too big a deal... How bad can traffic be on a public holiday morning?

    Tell me where to meet up and I'll be there

    Ben, we will most likely be in Wanganui about 1230-1 depending on the traffic etc.

    We will be taking our time as we dont want to get to the hotel too early.

    Depends really, but I would think around 5pm. It all depends on what time we end up leaving home and how many stops we make

    I am heading to New Plymouth tomorrow and will be driving through Wanganui sometime on the Saturday. It'd be nice if I could swing through as everyone's there

    Ok heres a loose timetable of events.

    We will aim to get to BP Mana at 71 Mana Esplanade at 9:30 on sat morning. http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?hl=en&...,Mana,+Porirua

    We will then aim to leave at 10am, to head up to Wanganui to our lunch stop.

    With a 2 1/2 hour travel time, we should be in Wanganui by 1230-1300. I believe that Ben will meet us there and possibly Ryan will make an appearance too.

    After lunch we have another approx 2 1/2 hour trip up sh 3 to Stratford and onto 43 to Whangamonona, for our overnight stop at the famous Whangamonona Hotel.

    In the morning we have a 1 1/2 hour run up to Tauramunui for a fuel stop before heading back to Wanaganui(another 2 hours). Im not sure when Ken, Joanne and Ben will peal off but maybe Tauramunui?

    After having lunch in Wanganui we will then head back down to Wellington, with a stop in Otaki to pick up our new family member.

    We will then head home to the valley.

    Sound alright for everyone?

    Seems like what we have discussed previously..................

    What do people think about Dixon's suggestion for tomorrow afternoon/evening BBQ ???

    Kenneth may well be tired from the trip down so not sure if he and Jo will be feeling up to coming along though.

    Cheers for the suggestion............

    Where is Dixon's place? Our hotel is on Oriental Parade and to be honest, we probably won't want to go far once we arrive in Wellington.

    We will probably be leaving here in about an hour, so after that the only way to contact us will be via mobile (Jeremy has my number)

    Yes I will meet everyone in Wanganui. I should be here around 1230ish. Will text Jermery once I'm here. Also I will be needing to refuel before we leave. BP on Victoria Ave look like to be only one sells 98.

    I will leave you guys when we get to trun off for sh41.
