Misc

• Weather - Intellicast - Satelite 10 day forecasts anywhere in the world.. NZ very good!
• BBC's city guides includes weather etc.

• Cycling New Zealand - Lonley Planets guide. Think copying parts of an out of date LP NZ, adding some okish tours and your there!
• Pedallers Paradise South Island Edition - A basic but great guide to the South Island routes. A one man band of writer and publisher! Easy to get in NZ book shops!
• Bicycle Touring - Billed as the complete guide, Patrica Vance gives a blow-by-blow account of everything you'd need to know about touring by bike. Quite Good for a first tourer
