Northland Trip Part 1

 Plan for this weekend was going to be driving down for Warbirds over Wanaka, but sadly the COVID restrictions seized those up. So instead decided to head to the far north. Today being the first day.

The original plan was to head up to Taupo quickly before the holiday traffic started, well one of those parts worked out, we got to Waiouru by 10am, but the desert road was closed due to an early crash. So the plan quickly changed to going via Te Kuiti and up.

The first thing noted was not far out of Feilding being Robinson R.44 ZK-HLY spraying in a field.

A quick fly past Te Kuiti with nothing really on show

First proper stop was Hamilton and quite a nice selection on offer.
