Note
Travelling from Melbourne to NZ, leaving home at 6.30am and getting into Nelson around 7pm. (The Melbourne flight was a little late into Wellington, killing off any chance of getting onto an earlier flight to Melbourne). Thought about doing a short run from Wellington Airport between flights if I could find somewhere to stash my gear but I couldn't, so passed it up.
NZ is going to be under high pressure for the next week (this is half of a "blocking pair", the other half of which looks set to unleash mayhem on various parts of the east coast of Australia over the weekend), and the views of the northern South Island coming in were sublime. I'll see them at slightly closer quarters over the next couple of days.
