Best campervan & motorhome hire in New Zealand

When you fly all the way from the UK to far off New Zealand you really need to know that you will receive superb treatment when you arrive and the best campervan hire that New Zealand has to offer. A few of New Zealand’s natural attractions NZ has some spectacular natural attractions and unique wildlife which is best viewed by travelling around – and a campervan or motorhome hire is the ideal vehicle for this as there are few places in the world where, within the space of one day, you can experience mountain vistas, ancient forests, volcanic landscapes and stunning coastline - all whilst spotting New Zealand wildlife found nowhere else on earth.

There is an active fault line which New Zealand straddles and where two giant pieces of the earth’s surface are in a constant state of collision. In the South Island they meet and push upwards, creating the towering Southern Alps. In the central North Island, one piece is creeping slowly under the other, generating enormous amounts of active subterranean heat and volcanic activity.

This area centres around Rotorua – a must see on your travels around NZ, as are the mountains of Tongariro National Park stretching east to Bay of Plenty’s White Island making an active but accessible volcano island.

There are boundless adventures to be explored whilst driving around in your campervan so why not take time out for a spot of canyoning, climbing, abseiling or some caving perhaps? But all the time you will be aware of the ancient Maori culture of the indigenous people who migrated to NZ from their Polynesian roots. All this and more offers you the best campervan hire holiday in New Zealand.

GOOGLE LEASES AIRBASE FOR SPACE, AVIATION AND ROBOTICS PROJECTS

Google has signed a long-term lease on part of a historic US Navy air base for projects involving aviation, space exploration and robotics.

Planetary Ventures, a subsidiary of the internet giant, will pay $1.16bn (£730m) in rent over 60 years for a 1,000-acre (4km2) site that makes up part of the former Moffett Field Naval Air Station on the San Francisco peninsula, which also includes an airfield flight operations building, two runways and a private golf course.seo sheffield

Google plans to invest more than $200m to refurbish three massive historic hangars and add other improvements, including a museum or educational facility that will showcase the history of Moffett and Silicon Valley, according to a Nasa statement.

“As Nasa expands its presence in space, we are making strides to reduce our footprint here on Earth,” said Nasa administrator Charles Bolden. “We want to invest taxpayer resources in scientific discovery, technology development and space exploration – not in maintaining infrastructure we no longer need.”

The agency said Planetary Ventures will use the hangars for “research, development, assembly and testing in the areas of space exploration, aviation, rover/robotics and other emerging technologies”.

The company has recently acquired several smaller firms that are working on satellite technology and robotics, but a Google spokesman declined to discuss specific plans for the property.web design sheffield

Nasa plans to continue operating its Ames Research Centre on the former Navy site, but Google will take over operations at the runways and hangars, which Nasa says will save it $6.3m a year maintenance and operation costs.

Google has also promised to restore the historic structure known as Hangar One, a 345m-long and 94m-wide structure built as a naval airship hangar to house the USS Macon in the 1930s, which is a San Francisco Bay Area landmark.

The discovery in 2003 that toxic chemicals from the lead paint and materials used to coat the hangar were leaking into sediment in wetlands bordering San Francisco Bay prompted the decision to strip the exterior panels, a task completed in 2012 that has left the building’s steel girder structure exposed.

The hangar was listed as one of the 11 most endangered historic places in the US by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2008.

“We look forward to rolling up our sleeves to restore the remarkable landmark Hangar One, which for years has been considered one of the most endangered historic sites in the United States,” said David Radcliffe, vice president of real estate and workplace services at Google.

Google already has a separate lease for another portion of the former air base, just a few miles from the company’s main campus in Mountain View, where it wants to build a second campus.

MUGS DESIGNS FOR THE NATIONAL TRUST

Thought we would share with everyone these two new designs we created specifically for the National Trust which are presently awaiting approval.personalised Mugs

The first is a spin off of  a design they used on one of their bags and it simulates an oak tree created from the national trust logo. We have adapted the design for each of the twenty odd official National Trust colours. (yes they have that many) so that will make quite a mug collection for members.Keep Calm mugs

The wording around the mug is easily adapted from the generic  NATIONAL TRUST  to a welsh variation as well as for  location specific sites like Tre degar House. The design is available on our 10oz ceramic mug as well as the smaller Fine bone china mug.

The second mug is again a spin off of an existing NT design and is we think rather colourful.personalised Mugs

Turn your garden sheds into a great home office.


Do you often find yourself distracted? Kids running round your feet? Nowhere to concentrate and be productive? A place to chill and relax? A reading room? A get away? Hideaway? What you need is a well kitted garden sheds to convert into a home office. In this article we will show you some great tips about turning your garden sheds into a great garden office.

Inside Decor
Sheds are typically dark and dirty places. It is important to decorate the inside properly. Using light paint (white or cream) you can make your shed feel spacious and clean as well as allow light to reflect off the walls. A lamp or an overhead light will make the room brighter if you aren’t lucky enough to have large windows. If you use a filament lamp you should be able to gain some extra heat.

Insulation
Insulation is the most important thing when turning your garden sheds into a home office. Bad insulation will mean it will be too cold in the winter and unbearably hot in the summer. You’ll want to make sure you put insulation into the walls and the roof. You can even put insulation on the floor, with a rubber mat or plywood over the top. The result will be far better conditions to work in. It’ll give you more reason to be in the office and stop you from becoming distracted and uncomfortable.

Electrics
You’re going to need some power to control your electrical devices. We at Sheds direct recommend you use a certified electrician to run an armored power cable to your garden sheds – as then it will be safe for everyone. Do it before you put the boards and insulation in. The costs to do this are not excessive, and the value you will gain from being able to use your garden sheds all year round will more than pay for it.

4 – Security
If you intend on having your computer, printer, fax machine and other expensive equipment in your garden sheds it’s best to make sure that it is secured properly. Make sure that your shed door hinges are properly secured. You can do this with coach bolts or non-returnable screws. If any window panes or wooden panels are broken replace them so people can’t get through. You could fit a battery or mains powered alarm to the door so that it will ward off any unwanted visitors. Finally the most essential item, a padlock for your shed door. (Note that if you buy a shed direct from most online retailers, your shed will be paper thin and insecure. Here at Sheds Direct we supply quality durable strong garden sheds and garden workshops to your specification).

Furniture
No room is complete without furniture. A nice desk, chair, easy chair, lamp, pictures, shelves will all complete the picture. Why not add a rug to add extra warmth and a touch of homeliness? Before you know it you will be looking for excuses to get out to your garden sheds , and you will be the envy of all your friends.

With a bit of work you know have somewhere to work at home where you can concentrate and be more productive.

Garden Shed Movie Stars

The Sheds Direct approach to filming Garden Sheds

Garden sheds sit silently and quietly performing their admirable jobs within some great films. We at Sheds Direct want to ask you this question; would the film have been the same if the sheds weren’t in them?

 

The Garden Sheds in Chicken Run
Although chickens are usually stored in coops in the film ‘Chicken Run’ the chickens actually live in little sheds (Sheds Direct prefer building fabulous quality large sheds). The fear of being turned into chicken pies drives the incredibly intelligent chickens to create a giant flying bird to make a getaway. I wonder if any humans have tried making a flying bird inside their shed. Imagine if they’d had a large dutch barn to build their flying bird in! Not only would they have had more room, but it would have been so much more pleasant to look at too.

 

The Garden Sheds Great Escape
Within the prisoner of war camps, sheds were their homes. As you can imagine, living in your garden sheds can’t be easy or comfortable, especially having to share it with 40 or so other men. So it’s inevitable that they will want to escape! With cunning they used their shed as a camouflage to dig a deep tunnel from their sleeping quarters all the way out of camp and into nearby woods. Have you ever wanted to escape from your home into your garden sheds – and if so would it make a good film? If so, let Sheds Direct know your thoughts!

 

The Garden Sheds in ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’
This is one of the only films using a garden sheds in the way it should be. To fix your car! There are not many of us who can design and build a flying car which can also float (as per ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’) but it’s probably a little realistic than making a giant flying bird. Remember though that in ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’, Caracatacus Potts’s father was captured in his shed as he got abducted by Vulgarian spies. This film is one of only a few where garden sheds have been used in musical cinema.

 

The Garden Sheds Thing
In the film ‘The Thing’, arctic scientists lock their fellow doctor (Blair) in the tool shed fearing he has been infected. Not happy to sit around Blair begins constructing a spaceship in a recess below the garden sheds. However MacReady, the helicopter pilot, guaranteed it would never take off. How? He did this by blowing it to pieces with a stick of dynamite. What ingenious or daft inventions have you used your garden sheds for? Let us know here at Sheds Direct as we love good garden sheds stories, as well as those regarding garden workshops and dutch barns. So there you have it. Sheds can have their 15 minutes of fame too.
