The Race by maggiemae

The Race

This stay was a bit further north than our recent south and was in a POP. Its called Park Over Properties and is available for members for the Caravan’s Society in NZ. The only charge was for electricity which we didn’t need if we didn’t want to use our plugs in the Caravan for…. but I like our breakfast smoothies!
Internet is tricky here -goes on and off - without my permission!

Three Good Things:
1. A huge mountain race ( called ‘fell running”) that started at 6am just down the road where we were camped ( I wasnt’ going to be there) This is the 2nd place getter running out of the bush - 60km over mountains! Just under 5 hours!
2. Got my day’s exercise just going down to the finishing point.
3. Met a lovely couple on a motorbike from Latvia!
Nice shot - I can feel the holiday atmosphere! Sounds though you are having a nice summer

@shepherdman Its not too bad Mr S! The weather has got warmer and the wind has died down!

Sounds like you've found another interesting NZ event to watch. They seem to hold a lot of extreme challenges like that.

The motor bike couple would be delighted to meet Burt Munro's son! We have the Caravan Club in the UK. My brother is a keen caravaner & now they have retired spend many a day towing it here & there. They have gone south fir the winter to Spain etc meeting like wise people they meet up with all over the place. They are coming to NZ in March to see our boys then onto Aus to see their daughter & family. Not in the caravan I might add!! Always on at me & Harry to get a van but it's not for us, I would be on edge the whole time towing a caravan in our traffic! A hotel for me please but there again we don't go away that often! Dublin fir me end of this week! 🍾❤️👏🏻😀
These folk must be fit!

I never go far enough right when typing & always end up using the I instead of the o when I write for!!

Great shot and processing Maggie. Only being charged for electricity sound like a good deal!

@thistle in the end swapped the cost for a book about Burt Munro

Sold another book to a couple we met in a cafe - 2 from near Doncaster! He was so thrilled he said it was now so worth coming to NZ😊
