[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 414507, member: 20605"] ....and that's driving time you are quoting, but they are unlikely to drive, they would be taking a bus or flying. The Bus Trip to Nelson is 8 hours whether you go through the Lewis or up the coast through Blenheim, and 6½ hours to Dunedin. Its not somthing you want to be doing twice a week As for flying, its a bit deceptive to say its a one hour flight. Thats just flight time. Anyone who has done a lot of flying will tell you that even a one hour trip basically writes most of the day off by the time you pack, take the Airport Cab/Shuttle, check in baggage, fly, collect baggage, another Airport cab/shuttle, and check in to the hotel at the other end. Todd Blackadder made the comment on RadioSport last week that they basically lose two days recovery time every week. And of course the other thing to consider is that their families are still living Christchurch. [/QUOTE]
