  <WSC#DPC079:0010:AC>
      the one by the waterworks there? <{><[><unclear>word</unclear></[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0015:BD>

  <WSC#DPC079:0020:BD>
      you can go to the right of the waterworks and go <{><[>down by</[>
      er smith's creek i think it is

  <WSC#DPC079:0025:AC>
      <[><O>voc</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0030:AC>
      is that where <.>you</.> <.>y</.> no <.>i</.> is that <.>wh</.>

      we went in with robin somewhere there

  <WSC#DPC079:0035:BD>
      that's right mm

  <WSC#DPC079:0040:AC>
      is that what you're thinking of <latch>

  <WSC#DPC079:0045:BD>
      oh no he's already been there hasn't he

  <WSC#DPC079:0050:AC>
      yeah he <.>w</.> he took us there when he was <{><[>doing <.>that</.>
      setting up that trip</[> <&>2:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC079:0055:BD>
      <[>mm that's the <.>one</.> you <.>know</.> where <.>d</.> where
      do you</[></{> start that one cos that's a good one

  <WSC#DPC079:0060:AC>
      <drawls>um</drawls>

  <WSC#DPC079:0065:BD>
      instead of going to the <{><[><.>waterworks</.></[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0070:AC>
      <[>yeah <.>i</.> it's</[></{> not the waterworks

  <WSC#DPC079:0075:AC>
      it's the <.>next</.> it's further along

  <WSC#DPC079:0080:BD>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC079:0085:AC>
      i think it's the next turn on the left <latch>

  <WSC#DPC079:0090:BD>
      well we wouldn't want to take him then <unclear>word</unclear>

  <WSC#DPC079:0095:AC>
      no he's already done <{><[>that one</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0100:BD>
      <[>he knows</[></{> that one well but i'd quite <{><[>like to go
      there myself</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0105:AC>
      <[>but there's probably one in the</[></{> waterworks <.>somewhere</.>
      or we could do that just for <{><[><.>our</.> for ourselves and
      find a new one</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0110:BD>
      <[>mm well there's <.>a</.> a new track</[></{> um up by kaitoke
      somewhere we need to explore <latch>

  <WSC#DPC079:0115:AC>
      is there

  <WSC#DPC079:0120:BD>
      mm apparently very nice

  <WSC#DPC079:0125:AC>
      put in by the city council is it <latch>

  <WSC#DPC079:0130:BD>
      something like that yeah

  <WSC#DPC079:0135:AC>
      oh good <{><[><.>cos</.></[> do you know how long it is

  <WSC#DPC079:0140:BD>
      <[>could try that</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0145:BD>
      no not terribly long

  <WSC#DPC079:0150:BD>
      i think it might be too short for us

  <WSC#DPC079:0155:AC>
      <.>or</.> <laughs>i think we could <unclear>word</unclear></laughs>
      <{><[><O>laughs</O></[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0160:BD>
      <[>no no too short for <.>a</.> no</[></{> too short for a day
      trip

  <WSC#DPC079:0165:AC>
      oh i <laughs>see what you mean</laughs> <{><[><O>laughs</O></[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0170:BD>
      <[>and it might only be half an hour or an hour</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0175:BD>
      ivan's been on it

  <WSC#DPC079:0180:BD>
      we can check it with him

  <WSC#DPC079:0185:AC>
      okay we'll do that <,>

  <WSC#DPC079:0190:AC>
      that would be good

  <WSC#DPC079:0195:BD>
      but it's not our turn next is it

  <WSC#DPC079:0200:BD>
      somebody else's turn

  <WSC#DPC079:0205:AC>
      <O>tut</O> no <.>who's</.> is it sandra i think is organising
      <.>th</.> <{1><[1><.>s</.> next</[1> one sandra and miriam <{2><[2>are
      organising</[2> the next one and THEY talked about a CITY <.>w</.>
      walk which is an interesting concept <&>3:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC079:0210:BD>
      <[1>i think so</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC079:0215:BD>
      <[2>mm</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC079:0220:BD>
      mm that'd be quite nice

  <WSC#DPC079:0225:AC>
      we'd look very funny though in our gaiters and shorts and <{><[>boots
      <laughs>wandering round the city</laughs> <O>laughs</O></[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0230:BD>
      <[>yeah <O>laughs</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0235:BD>
      there's always that network of walkways too er

  <WSC#DPC079:0240:BD>
      remember i brought those pamphlets home

  <WSC#DPC079:0245:BD>
      must have a look at <{><[>those</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0250:AC>
      <[>that's right</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0255:AC>
      it's possible actually to walk <.>a</.> a very long way isn't it
      through wellington <latch>

  <WSC#DPC079:0260:BD>
      mm <latch>

  <WSC#DPC079:0265:AC>
      it would be good actually to do some more of that

  <WSC#DPC079:0270:BD>
      i must get a um not for these trips but for my bigger <.>trips</.>
      <.>a</.> an internally framed pack hey

  <WSC#DPC079:0275:AC>
      yes <.>y</.> <.>you</.> cos your <.>pack</.> your pack's not
      nearly as good as mine is it

  <WSC#DPC079:0280:BD>
      no it's quite dated now <{><[>actually</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0285:AC>
      <[>yeah</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0290:BD>
      there was an ad in the paper for somebody wanting to buy a pack

  <WSC#DPC079:0295:AC>
      oh <.>well</.> maybe you could <{><[>flog yours off</[> and we
      get another one

  <WSC#DPC079:0300:BD>
      <[><unclear>word</unclear></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0305:BD>
      should sell it?

  <WSC#DPC079:0310:AC>
      yeah good idea

  <WSC#DPC079:0315:AC>
      <{><[>i haven't seen one</[> like that <.>i</.> <.>wh</.> was it
      recently

  <WSC#DPC079:0320:BD>
      <[>mind <.>you</.></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0325:BD>
      um this morning's paper

  <WSC#DPC079:0330:AC>
      oh really?

  <WSC#DPC079:0335:AC>
      why don't you ring up and see

  <WSC#DPC079:0340:BD>
      mm i suppose i'm thinking nobody will want to buy <.>a</.> an
      external er frame

  <WSC#DPC079:0345:AC>
      but somebody MIGHT

  <WSC#DPC079:0350:BD>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC079:0355:AC>
      and if you flogged it off <.>then</.> but it any case whether
      you flog it or <.>not</.> off or not why don't we get you
      another one

  <WSC#DPC079:0360:BD>
      mm it's a long time since we've done a proper <&>4:00</&> tramp
      <{><[>overnight tramp</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0365:AC>
      <[>it is isn't it</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0370:AC>
      that's right

  <WSC#DPC079:0375:AC>
      we've <.>never</.> <.>we've</.> yeah we haven't used our tent
      since the bike ride <{><[>that big bike</[> ride we did

  <WSC#DPC079:0380:BD>
      <[>no</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0385:BD>
      i'd quite like to do something over summer actually

  <WSC#DPC079:0390:AC>
      yeah it's a bit COLD this time of year isn't it really for
      overnighters

  <WSC#DPC079:0395:BD>
      yeah it is a bit

  <WSC#DPC079:0400:AC>
      do you think <.>although</.> but we've both got sleeping bags
      <.>a</.> theoretically <.>a</.> which can cope with it

  <WSC#DPC079:0405:BD>
      what are you thinking of say doing something in august

  <WSC#DPC079:0410:AC>
      well i think for an overnighter we could do over a weekend

  <WSC#DPC079:0415:AC>
      we <.>can</.>

  <WSC#DPC079:0420:BD>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC079:0425:AC>
      head out from butterfly creek somewhere <.>or</.> <,> i don't
      know go somewhere else

  <WSC#DPC079:0430:BD>
      mhm <,> just to get a bit of practice in

  <WSC#DPC079:0435:AC>
      well yeah it would be a bit of an adventure eh

  <WSC#DPC079:0440:BD>
      yeah still keen to do some biggish south island ones like um <O>tut</O>
      the routeburn <{><[>and all those</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0445:AC>
      <[>yeah i'd <.>love</.></[></{> i'd really like to do the
      routeburn

  <WSC#DPC079:0450:BD>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC079:0455:AC>
      that would be a nice <{><[>thing to do eh</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0460:BD>
      <[>well if we plan to do</[></{> that over summer perhaps

  <WSC#DPC079:0465:AC>
      well we also were talking about australia over summer

  <WSC#DPC079:0470:BD>
      mm <,> as well

  <WSC#DPC079:0475:AC>
      <laughs>and boating round the abel tasman</laughs> <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC079:0480:BD>
      it all seems so much

  <WSC#DPC079:0485:BD>
      we'll have to stay at home <&>5:00</&> just <.>t</.> <{><[>recoup
      our energies</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0490:AC>
      <[>that's right</[></{> that's right be too complicated to do it
      all

  <WSC#DPC079:0495:BD>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC079:0500:AC>
      perhaps we <.>c</.> we might have to make some decisions around
      that mightn't we

  <WSC#DPC079:0505:BD>
      we'll have to look at our finances and then see

  <WSC#DPC079:0510:AC>
      yes i <.>suppose</.> well probably <,> <{><[>um</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0515:BD>
      <[>actually um</[></{> <.>just</.> just off that for a minute um
      myrtle at work her brother has just bought a farm down in the
      sounds

  <WSC#DPC079:0520:AC>

      and attached to the farm is a camping ground with facilities <O>tut</O>
      and it's right on the water's edge <,> so i was thinking it
      would be lovely one weekend even if it was a long weekend to
      take the um car over on the ferry

  <WSC#DPC079:0530:AC>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC079:0535:BD>

  <WSC#DPC079:0590:BD>
      all i know is from picton <&>6:00</&> to nelson but i don't know
      the sounds very well <,>

  <WSC#DPC079:0595:AC>

      all she caught was a spotty <.>but</.>

  <WSC#DPC079:0610:AC>
      <laughs>that's not very encouraging</laughs>

  <WSC#DPC079:0615:BD>
      no but they must have cod and all sorts of things there

  <WSC#DPC079:0620:AC>
      well they used to have a lot of blue cod <{><[>lovely</[> blue
      cod cooked fresh and <.>oh</.>

      i don't know

  <WSC#DPC079:0655:AC>
      can <.>we</.> <.>i</.> don't suppose there's any way really of
      freezing them and getting them back is there

  <WSC#DPC079:0660:AC>
      it's too long

  <WSC#DPC079:0665:BD>

      catch blue cod and <.>th</.> just head for the beach and light a
      <.>b</.> fire on the beach

      religious phase

  <WSC#DPC079:0750:BD>

      three summers

      this guy from lower hutt who invited all these teenage boys down

  <WSC#DPC079:0780:BD>
      mhm mm

  <WSC#DPC079:0800:BD>
      oh dear

  <WSC#DPC079:0805:AC>

      advances to me but i'm sure he was sleeping with one of the
      other boys on the boat at one stage

  <WSC#DPC079:0810:BD>

  <WSC#DPC079:0840:BD>
      if it hadn't've been for the um crusaders <&>8:00</&> probably i

  <WSC#DPC079:0845:AC>
      really

      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0860:BD>
      cos um oh no <.>that's</.> that's not quite true cos er my
      tramping interest was reinforced by marvin later but um i went
      on a crusaders camp <drawls>to um</drawls> national park

  <WSC#DPC079:0865:AC>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC079:0870:BD>
      and you know we did a tramp <.>across</.> oh in fact climbed up
      tongariro and down the other side and did that track

  <WSC#DPC079:0875:BD>
      it was lovely

  <WSC#DPC079:0880:AC>
      oh good <latch>

  <WSC#DPC079:0885:BD>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC079:0890:AC>
      yeah <.>though</.> we did some good things

  <WSC#DPC079:0895:AC>
      <.>they</.> we had a LOT of fun at the camp

  <WSC#DPC079:0900:AC>
      it really was just brilliant

  <WSC#DPC079:0905:BD>
      mm yes we did too

  <WSC#DPC079:0910:BD>
      <{><[>it was glorious</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0915:AC>
      <[>we did things like</[></{> we used to chase the geese round
      <,> and once we were given permission by the farmer to actually
      CATCH one <{><[>and have it</[> for dinner <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC079:0920:BD>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0925:BD>
      and did you

  <WSC#DPC079:0930:AC>
      yeah it was horrendous

  <WSC#DPC079:0935:AC>
      <laughs><.>we</.> we <.>just</.></laughs> what we did was we
      just ROWED <.>after</.> after them until one of them got so
      tired it dived

  <WSC#DPC079:0940:BD>
      <drawls>ah</drawls>

  <WSC#DPC079:0945:AC>
      and then we jagged it with a fish hook on the end of a bit of
      stick

  <WSC#DPC079:0950:BD>
      that sounds cruel <{><[>as anything horrible little boys</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0955:AC>
      <[><O>laughs</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:0960:AC>
      we were we were horrible little boys ah dear

  <WSC#DPC079:0965:BD>
      mind you if it was dinner i suppose it was a <&>9:00</&>
      different matter

  <WSC#DPC079:0970:AC>
      <O>tut</O> it was what <.>we</.> i can remember we had <.>a</.>
      <.>a</.> what's that game where you have to go off and find
      strange objects you know?

  <WSC#DPC079:0975:BD>
      er

  <WSC#DPC079:0980:AC>
      <.>ts</.> it called? <latch>

  <WSC#DPC079:0985:BD>
      yeah i can't remember <{><[>yeah</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:0990:AC>
      <[>a treasure</[></{> hunt yeah treasure hunt

  <WSC#DPC079:0995:BD>
      was it treasure hunt

  <WSC#DPC079:1000:AC>
      <O>tut</O> i think so

  <WSC#DPC079:1005:AC>
      you have a whole list of things <{><[>that you've got to</[>
      bring back

  <WSC#DPC079:1010:BD>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:1015:BD>
      like four leafed clovers

  <WSC#DPC079:1020:AC>
      yes that's right and we had <.>th</.> <.>th</.> my group had
      this guy in it who was really thick

  <WSC#DPC079:1025:BD>
      mm?

  <WSC#DPC079:1030:AC>
      so we er we looked on our list to find something that was
      absolutely easy to get

  <WSC#DPC079:1035:BD>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC079:1040:AC>
      and gave it to him and it was <.>w</.> the thing we chose was a
      goose feather

  <WSC#DPC079:1045:AC>
      i mean given that there were hundreds of geese around the place

  <WSC#DPC079:1050:BD>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC079:1055:AC>
      we figured <.>it</.> it would be VERY straightforward and what
      he did was er he came back with a whole goose <{><[><O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC079:1060:AC>
      he <.>put</.></[> one had crash landed on the beach in front of
      him and broken it's neck <laughs>would</laughs> you believe

  <WSC#DPC079:1065:BD>
      <[><O>laughs</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:1070:BD>
      good <{><[>grief poor guy</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:1075:AC>
      <[><O>laughs</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:1080:BD>
      <{><[>deary dear</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:1085:AC>
      <[>ah dear</[></{> it was quite fun

  <WSC#DPC079:1090:BD>
      so we should plan to do that

  <WSC#DPC079:1095:AC>
      yeah i think that's a good idea

  <WSC#DPC079:1100:BD>
      <.>i</.> very easy to <.>s</.> talk about these things and not
      do them isn't it

  <WSC#DPC079:1105:AC>
      it is yes much easier to sit in the warm and <&>10:00</&> talk
      about them really

  <WSC#DPC079:1110:BD>
      mm <latch>

  <WSC#DPC079:1115:AC>
      <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC079:1120:BD>
      i mean i'd <.>ra</.> <.>the</.> the picton trip i'd rather do
      towards summer

  <WSC#DPC079:1125:BD>
      perhaps in spring would be nice <,> <{><[><?>when it's</?>
      starting</[> to warm up and get a bit lighter <?>and that</?>

  <WSC#DPC079:1130:AC>
      <[>yes that's true</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC079:1135:AC>
      we could perhaps organise a you know now <.>we</.> can be a bit
      more flexible with holidays maybe we could organise a long
      weekend to do it on even

  <WSC#DPC079:1140:BD>
      mm <{><[>because</[>

  <WSC#DPC079:1145:AC>
      <[>go down</[></{> on friday night and come back <.>s</.> monday
      <.>mor</.> monday afternoon or something like that <&>10:20</&>
