Anyone know what happens if it's raining/pouring/crappy?
The website said they're expecting in excess of 400 people!!!  I'm thinking we need to head in about 9 if that's the case hahaha. It's just our 2 car convoy if it goes ahead, Kels.

I think this is the way but I can't be 100% on this. You want to be in the left lane and take the Hawkestone off ramp, which is the third off ramp that leads up to St Marys college (the offramps before this are Aotea, then Murphy) Turn right onto Tinakori Road. Keep on driving until you get to the botanical gardens. I think you have to drive through a couple sets of lights. ------------- Michelle http://lilypie.com">

Sounds about right. You don't want to take the Aotea or Murphy off ramp, take the one after that. Like Michelle said turn right onto (whatever street that is) then left (which is a funny little give way intersection. Then you go straight up Tinakori Rd, through a set of lights, and some shops, and another set of lights and on the left up a bit further is a big gate to the gardens. That's the main entrance. I would be stuffed if I had to go in any other entrance because I only know that one!
Anyway, until I see it raining tomorrow morning, I'm still in they're going to have 2 trails - a longer, hilly one and a shorter, flatter one. I've already decided I'm not pushing 12+kg Ashlee plus 12kg of pram up hills LMAO!!

I've decided on the shorter flatter one as I'll get to the coffee faster :) Actually I should do the longer walk as I ate two lunches today. My second one consisted of 3/4 tub of yoghurt, a cream lamington and bacon and egg pie. ------------- Michelle http://lilypie.com">

| That WAS ridiculous. And that lady who we got chatting to when we got there said 'oh yes, it only took us 1/2 an hour but we didn't have prams with us'... Surely for a BUGGY walk, you'd test it out with a pram!!! Anyway, it was a good workout haha! I always look forward to the next one so it can't be all that bad lol |
