The last ten metres
- The Lazy Fern Track Blog
- In late December 2005 strange thrashing and grunting noises were heard from the bush above South Kaori Stream. Wild pigs? Blind mountain bikers? Exploring botanists? Nope, it was the first of many exploration trips to find a suitable route for the proposed easy downhill track. Two years later, and the last ten metres of the track has just been built!

No Records, But Heaps of Fun!
- Orienteering Hutt Valley
- Participation in 2007 didn't zoom up like the previous years, but after an extraordinary 2006 it was very similar to 2005. (In 2006 we ran the NZ Rogaine Champs and the NI Sec Sch Champs, whew!) There were 1925 starts, and if you count rogainers in 3hr units we get 2105. At least 75 volunteers made all this happen, thank you!

The fun police
- WellUrban
- "Graffiti Alley" between the Left Bank and Ghuznee St may have just been edged out in the Wellingtonista Best Public Art awards, but it's still the most dynamic and democratic site of all. There were some particularly interesting goings-on a couple of weekends ago, and when I walked past early one the evening the masked artists were hard at work; later that evening they were still there, but being sternly spoken to by the boys in blue.
