As a local I recon on 45 to an hour from Whangarei central to the site.

Both Paparoa and Maungaturoto have old school hotels / pubs with good grub. I can see the Maungi one from my back yard so I would be keen on a beer or two!!

See you there Sat night?

Ha Ha !!!

You beat me to it! I was just going to post the Motor Camp phone number!

Cheers Muddymatt

P.S

Anyone coming up with a vehicle we can double drive?? Don't mind splitting the petrol money. I just don't have the spare coin to buy and run my own toy and the wife won't let me compete in her Discovery!!!
