Eight Minis converged on the starting point at the Parnell Rose gardens at early o'clock.
Those with a competitive streak were flagged off at set intervals with the remaining Minis happy to adopt a "follow the leader" approach.
It was a pleasure to drive round the bays with no other traffic and a couple of the clues around this part proved a head scratcher, as some of the names for the answers were no longer displayed on the buildings!
We followed the bays round through Glenn Innes and headed for Musick Point in Howick where Steve had sorted an awesome photo spot (I recognised it immediately as a spot he had photo'd his previous Cooper at!).
Photos duly taken, we headed off round by Maraetai and finally finishing up at the cafe at Ardmore Airport where excellent breakfasts were had by all.
Answers duly compared, the Murrays were declared winners.
An excellent morning was had by all and thanks go to Steve and Darren for organising.
