Sorry for the threadjack, But would anyone from Welly have room to bring down a set of 4 rims and drop in Blenheim for me? DaveM has offered to hold them at his place til I can get over from Nelson.

Heaps of snow at the hut, around 500mm and deeper in the drifts. If there is anymore snow in the next week or so, good luck camping out!!!
