Adrienne, Jean & Carolyn. Jean Roger, 88yrs old. I grew up in UK, in South End on Sea. Being born across the road from the beach, I lived alongside thousands of holidaymakers. They arrived in NZ in 1957 and couldn’t afford holidays so they went camping. 62 years ago, and with our infant son Peter, we first went camping as a family. We shoved all the stuff in the work Vanguard station wagon and loaded paint sheet, broom handles, nails as pegs, ball of string, with a grey blanket safety-pinned on as a screen. Slept in the back of the vehicle. They had to disengage the horn because 3 yr old Peter slept across the front seat, and would put his foot on the horn in the night. Sisters, Carolyn and Adrienne Adrienne Leslie, age 86 My earliest camping memory was at age 4, October 6, 1943, with Ngati Porou on the marae at Ruatoria in the historic presentation of the VC medal to 2nd Lt Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa Ngarimu, posthumously, at a massive hui of 7,000 people presided over by Sir Apirana Ngata. We slept on the whare floor with all the local kids. There were 1200 children at the event. Her Father, Thomas Houston, Govt Inspector of Health who spoke fluent te reo, pointed out his Excellency, the Governor-General, Sir Cyrill Newall and the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Peter Fraser in the back of big black cars. I remember amazing kapa haka and waiata performed by hundreds of beautiful dancers. I remember I was told it was one of the most important events I would ever attend in my life … and it was in fact reported at the time as one of the largest and most fully documented Māori gatherings ever held. This ceremony doubled as a tribute to the magnificent part played by the Māori Battalion in all the operations of the Second New Zealand Division, as well as acting as a form of public mourning for the fact that no bodies had been returned to New Zealand. † For Adrienne it was unforgettable The war was on so no tents, and couldn’t get anything. Carolyn Moore, aged 82 Began camping at age 5 or 6. We went with Mum and Dad in a borrowed tent, and camped on the Buller at Gowan Bridge, because Mum ’n Dad loved dry-fly trout fishing. Our tents were mouldy and leaked like a sieve and we had to pack up and leave. Absolutely miserable; and have had many miserable camps over the years. We slept in the car half the time. We never went into campgrounds, finding river bank sites, on football fields, a pickers hut near Motueka, so always wild camping. All over NZ. We always had a spade to dig holes. One for the long drop, and one for the rubbish. Lake Mavora was a three week stint in the rain, most memorable. Camped alongside the river, outside the old homestead which is gone now. As an adult they took their infant son camping. Drove the Jowett Javelin, which I still own. We loaded up with a Farmers green and brown canvas tent, cot, high chair, and travelled up to the far north at Taipa. The tent was handed down from our parents-in-law who had used it at little Oneroa on their land in Waiheke. We eventually graduated to a caravan. Their legacy has been passed down through the generations, to great-grand children in the family, who now camp at All Points Camping Club. Passed down camping gear: food safe, table, basin. The caravan behind was built by Adrienne’s father (it appears in Issue 2 and is profiled in Issue 5.) † www.28maoribattalion.org.nz/photo/ngarimus-vc-hui-ruatoria-1943 Grandad's grandad's Caravan (Issue 5) Freedom camping (Issue 3) Up Up 7 Autumn 2024 , p 37

7 Autumn 2024 7 Autumn 2024 BUY AUTHOR INDEX AUTHORS Click on image for full view and caption Freedom camping at Bendigo, Lake Dunstan ©2024 Andrew Morton Remember JUNE 6: 2024 & 2025 So you want to freedom camp Miriam Richardson We are in a transition period from the old ‘blue’ warrant system to a new ‘green’ warrant system. The transition period is set to expire 7 June ’25 † . There is a small possibility that the Minister might choose to extend the transition period; the law allows this until 7/6/27 † . It could help, with so many needing to be certfied by so few. Some (but not all) can freedom camp with their blue warrants during the transition period ( more ) . At the end of the transiton period green warrant cards will be required for anyone freedom camping. See note at the end for more on ‘blue’ and ‘green’ warrants. Can you actually go green? The new system is not yet ready to do the job. As at Feb ’24 only 29 can do this work in the whole of the country . This is so spectacularly inadequate, that it has been estimated that those 29 would need to certify 260 vehicles a day to get everyone through before the 2025 end of the transition period. Further, the rental motorhome fleets all have to be recertified before 7 Dec this year, which will leave little opportunity for us. When can you or I choose to re-certify for a green warrant? Unknown. Might your blue warrant expire before you have a chance to get a green warrant? This is a distinct possibility. Check your expiry date and give that some thought. What upgrades must you do? We are faced with making bizarre and expensive modifications before we can be certified green. It is possible, but not at all certain, that some of these regulations might fall to commonsense, in a revision process that could take as long as 6 months ‡ . There is an advantage if we can delay upgrading and going green until the outcome is clear. It is worth considering renewing your blue warrant before 7 Jun ’24 to extend your personal transition time to the maximum, a transition-end date of Jun ’25 (or later, if the transition period were to be extended). 7 June: A last chance for new blue or renew 7 June ‘24 is the last day you can renew (or get a new) blue warrant with a fixed toilet, and use it for freedom camping during the transition period. After that, only a new green warrant can be issued for freedom camping. Which is you? What are your choices if you want to freedom camp? Self-contained with a blue warrant and a fixed toilet Upgrade and GET A GREEN warrant before your blue warrant expires or transition-end (likely 7 Jun ‘25 † ). A fixed toilet is just one of the requirements ( ckw.nz/go-green ). RENEW YOUR BLUE warrant before 7 Jun ’24 to maximise the transition time, and in case your blue warrant expires before you can get a green warrant. THEN do any upgrades required and GET A GREEN warrant before transition-end (likely 7 Jun ‘25 † ). Self-contained with a blue warrant and a portable toilet Once your blue warrant expires you cannot freedom camp with a portable toilet ‡ (you need a blue warrant, issued before 7/6/23, not yet expired). You need to install a fixed toilet ‡ (true for blue, probable for green ‡ ) Upgrade to a fixed toilet and RENEW YOUR BLUE warrant before 7 Jun ’24. THEN do any other upgrades required to GET A GREEN warrant before transition-end (likely 7 Jun ‘25 † ). Upgrade and GET A GREEN warrant before your blue warrant expires or transition-end (likely 7 Jun ‘25 † ). A fixed toilet is just one of the requirements: ckw.nz/going-green ). Fixed toilet, not yet self-contained GET A NEW BLUE warrant before 7 Jun ’24. This will allow you to freedom camp until transition-end (likely 7 Jun ‘25 † ). THEN do any other upgrades required to GET A GREEN warrant before transition-end (likely 7 Jun ‘25 † ). Upgrade and GET A GREEN warrant now. A fixed toilet is just one of the requirements: ckw.nz/going-green ). Portable toilet, not yet self-contained You need to install a fixed toilet ‡ (true for blue, probable for green ‡ ). Upgrade to a fixed toilet and get a new blue warrant before 7 Jun ’24. This will allow you to freedom camp until transition-end (likely 7 Jun ‘25 † ). THEN do any other required upgrades to get a green warrant before transition-end (likely 7 Jun ‘25 † ). Upgrade and get a green warrant now. A fixed toilet is just one of the requirements: ckw.nz/going-green ). Why extend your transition time There are too few certifiers and inspectors to meet the current need. There may be no inspectors in your area. If your blue warrant expires before you can get a green warrant, you are barred from freedom camping. The regulations might be updated in the next 6–8 months to change requirements; wait until it is clear. There might be so many people wanting parts and services at the same time that upgrading may be both difficult and slow. The transition period might be extended as long as 2 years. It will be so expensive! Another year before paying the new fees is a bonus. Just get it done! Get it off your mind, and go freedom camp. Save the cost and effort of an interim blue warrant. Get ahead of the rush for the parts and the professionals to install them. Get ahead of any last minute rush for certification. Accept that the upgrade costs might turn out to be unnecessary. Important dates 7 June ‘24 Last chance for a new or renewed blue warrant you can use to freedom camp. TRANSITION-END 7 June ‘25 ( unless it’s extended) 7/6/25 is the intended end of the transition period. GREEN WARRANTs ARE then required But the transition-end could be delayed. 7 June ‘27 is the end of the longest possible delay. NOTES Certified blue: a blue warrant card; certified to the NZ Standard, Self containment of motor caravans and caravans (NZS 5465:2001. The old, existing system. (pdf). Certified green: a green warrant card; certified to new regulations ( ckw.nz/go-green ). The new system. ‡ Efforts to overturn the ‘fixed toilet’ regulation continue. This was promised by National on the campaign trail. References here to the need for a fixed toilet for a green warrant will become obsolete if these efforts succeed. † The transition period started 7 Jun 2023 and is set to expire 7 Jun 2025 (transition-end: 7 Jun ‘25). The legislation allows for the transition period to be extended. The Minister can set any length extension, to, at the latest, 7/6/27, an extra 2 years (transition-end would be 7 Jun ‘27). Given the logistical problems in the implementation of the new system, the Minister might choose to do this.

This particular trip to New Zealand extends from early November to early April. ©2024 Glyn Wooller an endless summer travelling across hemispheres to avoid the cold Living an endless summer Glyn Wooller, Waikato River Trails Delightful to chat with Alan and Joyce on a glorious summer’s day at Little Waipa reserve. Joyce was setting out the table and chairs in a sunny spot overlooking the Waikato River after a chillyish night with temperature inside the caravan at a brisk 11º. Alan and Joyce call Alberta Canada home. Alan, originally from west Auckland, left as a young man. Since meeting 13 years ago in Canada they have lived an endless summer travelling across hemispheres avoiding the colder climates. Prior to retirement Joyce worked in construction financing and Alan as a surveyor largely in the oil industry. Alan’s work through Canadian winters is one of the contributing factors to their love of the endless summer lifestyle. This particular trip to New Zealand extends from early November to early April. Joyce recalls her first trip to New Zealand in a Honda Oddessy which included a trip to the Central Otago Rail Trail. Visits now are in the comfort of the Winnebago caravan. Most recently Alan and Joyce have been to other camping reserves along the Waikato River Trail in Whakamaru and Mangakino. Time on the trail is largely via walking although there is a bike on the rack which Alan will take out from time to time. This is not their first visit to Little Waipa reserve, Alan and Joyce have stayed many times. What they enjoy about the Riverside Trail between the reserve and Arapuni Village is the peaceful environment, picnic tables, the Huihuitaha boardwalk, wildlife and refreshments at the Rhubarb Café. Alan and Joyce until recently lived in a busy urban environment. Now living in a small village with a population of less than 200 people they thrive on the lack of noise pollution. The peaceful reserves along the River and the Waikato River Trails resonate with the tranquility Alan and Joyce love so much. Next destination for this lovely couple prior to heading back to Canada is the Coromandel. To Alan and Joyce, all the best with your travels. Up Up 7 Autumn 2024 , p 34
