On the Road: A day in Taihape

After a 5.30am start this morning travelling "around" to get to Taihape due to the possible snow and ice on the Taihape Road. (According to Google maps the Taihape Rd. does not even exist!!) my energy levels are flagging now.

I had heard much about about TAS , third hand as you do. And in answer to the unanswered questions regarding the complex it IS all under one roof. The grounds are ample but the complex designed around a canteen in the centre allows access to all classrooms and admin areas under one roof. There is plenty of eating and socialising space in the main lunch eating areas, which are also undercover.
I can see why visiting folk in November or February would say "why bother?" But this neither being February nor some cloudless vista I for one have fully appreciated the design. I’m back tomorrow to deliver further training and hopefully I’ll be able to catch up with an ex-colleague of mine F2F.
