Plans
Another long weekend mission, planned to attack as many hashes as possible over the three day weekend.
Expedition
Here in the Commonwealth Country of New Zealand, we celebrate the birthday of Queen Elizabeth by having a day off. After visiting the local internet cafe in Turangi, found a hash which wasn't too far away from the route home back to Auckland.
Have car, will follow map to destination. Unfortunately we were thwarted by a Permit Only Sign, only 900 m from the hash. We decided not to risk it as could see a residence in the distance. First fail for Greenslime. However we did stumble across a beautiful set of waterfalls that we probably would never have come across so not all was wasted.
Tracklog
Taupo to Putaruru, SH 28 onto SH 29, over the Kaimai Ranges, right onto McLaren Falls road, the right onto Omanawa Road

All good plans have a plan - scrawls from the internet cafe - thats commitment
'Permit required' and 'No Trespassing' signs sighted prior to this one changed our minds about this hash
Within 900 m to the hash <sigh>
What could have been - view of the potential hash
