Muriwai Moose Madness 2005
If anyone's looking for me, or Craig, or Sam during the next week or so, we will probably be somewhere in the area indicated by the whites lines in the diagram below...
This weekend (1-2 October) is the annual Moose Meet. 'Mooseland' is at the North end of Muriwai Beach, near Auckland. The place is incredible, with a 50km long fast beach, and acres of sands dunes. Of course getting there is half the fun to. Tomorrow morning I meet up with Craig and Sam in Picton to catch the ferry to the North Island. We then make the long drive to Muriwai (just North-west of Auckland). On Saturday Morning we drive or buggy the length of the beach to camp in the dunes at South Head. After the Moose Meet weekend is over a group will continue North for a few days to explore some of the other huge beaches in the area.
I promise lots of photos and maybe even some video when we return. Until then, heres some pictures from last years Moose Meet.
See you in a 8 days!

Snow Kite
Snow kite Photos
Sorted out some more photos from the Monday SNOW DUMP, these r some pictures of SAM making the most of conditions with the help of a PHANTOM to scare up some action.
We got to the field as soon as we could but with the very warm winter and the early spring the ground temps were up so the snow was not going to last long it was disappearing in front of our eyes.
Sam arrived shortly after us with a hired snow board and was soon doing the snow board thing see the Gallery.

Snow Buggy
Well At last something to report, Southerly wind along with some SNOW, so off we went, locked the office phoned the lads, grabbed the camera loaded the kites fetched the latest in kite traction vehicles (SNOW BUGGY)from the factory and off to the flat snow covered secret location near the airfield, for some snow kite action. Some photos in the SNOW BUGGY Gallery.
The wind was typically southerly big and ugly! but what fun, especially when your feet wont stick to the ground or your bum or belly or any thing else for that matter, some good laughs with some un expected time both in the air and in the snow was had by all.
The weather report is forecasting more of the same for the next three days I sure hope so.
Craig Out
P.S. I hope it is all gone away for the MOOSE
