Yes will be a good test for the tents.
Exactly why I haven’t gone down the path with Chinese knock-off tents, which are always pitched “same as ….”
Time to wax the oil skins
Rain on the west coast ????
EXTRAORDINARY !!!

OK for 22 shooting tonight and tomorrow night on the Waikanae Golf course.
Thursday night will be shotgun time in the pouring rain and gale force winds. PERFECT shotgun shooting conditions in residential areas. I'll just keep going until I run out of ammunition, or geese, or until my arse is soaking wet! Whichever comes first......
Then a hot shower in the club rooms and home to bed. Good plan ah!?Attachment 247700

Was there a fortnight ago. They now have the worlds largest stopbanks erected. Will be interesting to see how they fared.
JUST BRING THAT 300MM OVER THIS SIDE OF THE DEVIDE...... it would hardly touch the ground before plants sucked it up.
This comment would have gone down a treat on here a few years ago. Thankfully most have been banned or have moved on.Quote:

It’s an event that’s not as catastrophic as predicted so far.”
so why are you still here?Quote:

I am a bit over the constant weather warnings. Since moving to Hokitika where the weather is better than Rotorua. We find the predictions. Yr.no included very optimistic. The Coasters just deal with it and accept it. They observe the forecast's and take it into account. It certainly doesn't warrant anything to stop them pursuing their lifestyle choices. Friend sent me a pic of his 31st one of the year. I'm struggling to find space in the freezer for anymore. If a tree blocks the road a local uses' it for firewood they don't phone the council down here. I really like the move south.
2 days ago the forecast was for 27mm of rain today, last night it was increased to 30+mm and we didn't get a drop. I'm not bothering to check anymore.
Having just returned from a months holiday on the coast I can vouch that Hoki has a lot more going for it than just better weather than Rotorua :thumbsup:Quote:

I personally use neither, multiple quality weather forecasting options out there.
If anyone knows old mate Seymour, perhaps a word in his ear.
Give one the chop, or at least amalgamate them and save our tax dollars…
What you mean they dont all stand around taking pics of a fallen down tree to show everyone on social media what a fallen down tree looks like very odd :)Quote:
