Ngatea, Hauraki Plains 3-5 November 2010

Best & cheapest camping place ever!  Visiting Margaret & Fred Armfield in their lovely new home.  EXCELLENT facilities, fantastic meals.  Good hosts who even chauffered us to Thames township.  Margaret & Janice 'ditched' the boys & fossicked in the shops for about 2 hours.  We all had lunch, then Fred drove us out to Kaueranga Valley to do a reconnoitre as we would like to spend a few days there walking.  Looks great.    So good to catch up with them again - as usual lots of laughter & fun.  Margaret & I thought it might be a good idea if the boys went in one caravan & we went in the other & just meet up when WE had a problem!  Of course they wouldn't need us at all???
