Ashhurst river run

Post by SV1K »

So, after doing the Masterton to Martinborough run I talked to Mike and suggested the Ashhurst river for a play.....

We are looking at either weekend of 30 October or 6 November...

Looking at heading up Friday night staying in the camping grounds right next to the river and coming back Sunday... or you can leave Saturday if you want, no pressure at all...

So lets hear your thoughts on this...

Euan, Jafa or Haynzy, kindly asking for one of you to be free for what ever weekend we decide to do :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Okay, so I said it would be the last weekend in October... well I got it wrong, seems that someone has come up and we now need to make it the first weekend in November.

So it is still on!! First full weekend in November 7 & 8 at Ashhurst camping grounds, we will be heading up Friday night, meeting time on Saturday will be 9:30 - 10:00am at the camping grounds, PRS & CB channel 10.

Looking forward to this trip, see you there if you can make it!
