Wow - I'm famous - I got a mention by firesafe
I live 100 km south of the APM Series, but my kids live 20km east, and a friend lives right in the middle of the series. I sometimes _USED_ to stay overnight at my friend's house when I visited my kids so I didn't have to travel up in the morning. The first few I found were 11pm on a frosty winter night, so I was not in a hurry to complete the whole series.
Also, I like to find out something about the PM and include it in my log.
Friend who has been known to spit-the-dummy (see mundoo for a reference) is now an EX-friend, so I won't be _USING_ him (his words), so there's a pretty good chance I might complete the series in a big hurry, maybe, one day, when the mood hits, or I might not!
Thanks firesafe for the series - I bet this little ex-kiwi knows more about the first few APMs than 99% of Aussies.
