Location

This is a rare urban hash for Auckland.

The location is on a small commercial road linking Post Haste Couriers and New Zealand Couriers. Each office is the place to go after getting a card-to-call on your doorstep. I've been to both, but never been through, so have not been to the location before.

Plans

The weather isn't so good, but a quick drive will get us to the geohash.

Expedition

I left home at about ten to four. My intention was to go from the north on Botha Rd, but ended up going along Rockfield since that's the way I usually travel to Onehunga or Royal Oak. This put me through the south gate from Mt Smart Rd.

I took a few photos. There are many more vans and trucks on the weekend than in the Google maps satellite view. There seemed to be no one around at all, but just before I left there was a roller door clanging closed somewhere.

It's a good thing that I came from the south since the Botha Rd gate was closed. I intended to leave that way but had to turn back. The NZ Couriers office closes at midday on a Saturday.

Successful visit, if a bit uneventful.
