12th Feb 2012 Car run to Awhitu Lighthouse with lunch at Waiuku.
At 9.30am 7 cars met at the usual spot BP Service centre on the southern motorway by Drury. We all had our fingers crossed for good weather as it had been raining heavily on the drive down. Veena, Pat, Cam, Carol, Lorraine, Desre, Brian, Christine, Keith, Pauline, Joh, Pip and Di all headed out towards Waiuku. Lost one car at the motorway exit and found them again outside Waiuku, missed the turning to the market and decided to carry on to the lighthouse. We arrived 5 minutes ahead of another car club of Zodiacs and Zephers and found time to stand and admire the older cars. (about 20). A good brisk climb (yeah sure) up the "mountain" to the lighthouse where we saw amazing views. Even the weather stayed fine for us then. Beautiful place to be. We then decided to try Castaways at Karioitahi Beach for lunch. Unfortunatly we had no phone signal until nearly there and found them full. Back we went to Waiuku to an 1850's pub The Kentish . They very kindly didnt faint when 13 very hungry people arrived without warning and we had time to drink, chat and eat some very presentable, very fresh food. It was nice to sit and catch up again as it's been a long time since our last run.
We promise more action now as you have shown us that enough of you want the club to continue so watch this site.!!!
