Get back to us and we will review your progress and suggest amendments to your technique!

On a more serious note, is this the carpark near the Tukino skifeild access road? I've got a mate who would split the petrol bill if you reckon it's a worthwhile spot.

Next weekend I'm housesitting for a mate in Pyes Pa (Tauranga), so if there's any good suggestions near there I'm all ears! Otawa or Otanewainuku? Mamaku or Kaimais?
