Nature gets in the way of technology

Wintec tutors had to think outside the boundary yesterday – quite literally, as tall pine trees blocked the satellite internet connection to the journalism cabin.

With the help of Chris Lord, tutor for Wintec’s regional centre in Otorohanga, a few coffees, and the generosity of the team at Lochiel golf course, the satellite trailer was put on the golf course on the other side of the trees.

After it seemed as though the daily news would not be delivered, the dilemma was solved. Now that’s a hole in one.
