New Ground Anchor
There’s a new ground anchor on offer. It’s small and light and has potential. Miles Moffat of Christchurch has been perfecting the design and now has a website http://www.lan-cor.com/ for it featuring a short video. Marketed under the Lan-cor name (an abbreviation of land-anchor), it works on the screw principle. Leonardo da Vinci would be proud of it.

An Adventure in a Hummer H3

A Nice Waikato Ramble
You probably haven’t heard of Naike. It’s a small farming community located on Highway 22 between Tuakau and Raglan –on a line between Huntly and the coast, definitely a blink or you will miss it township, consisting of what was the local school till it got closed in a rationalisation, a hall and a few houses.
