Winter Woollies Wander
On the 2nd July Doreen and I headed to Warkworth for the Winter Woollies Wander 2021. Stopping off at Puhoi Pub for lunch as we have never been there before, something different and a great lunch, catching up with Graeme and Raewyn Fenn and Irwin and Audrey from Waihi Beach. Then off to Warkworth to our motel. Saturday, at the clubrooms in the old Satellite Station Information Centre, now the clubrooms for Warkworth & Wellsford VVCC for briefing etc. Starting the rally, we took the photographer from their club, Chris Harvey with us on the run to do photos of all the cars etc. 58 turned out and away we went, ninety miles in the morning to all the little beaches and bays on mostly metal roads until lunch at a little school called Tomarata School. Goodness knows where we were, but I think we could see Sydney, but who cares, we had a good run and Chris was taking photos of all the cars coming in for lunch. After lunch, off again, getting low on gas but Chris assured us the gas station was only a few miles away at Matakana. So, after filling up we continued on with the afternoon run of 60 miles and then back to town to hand in sheets. Chris gave us a rundown on the area, then we dropped him off at his house. Dinner was a great meal with prize giving etc. We got 2nd Vintage. Thanks to Warkworth and Wellsford VVCC. Doreen and I had a great run and on Sunday back to Rotorua. Thanks to all who put on a good weekend and Chris Harvey for his Tiki Tour.
