Wopass, why dont you stay at lake Rerewhakaaitu :?:

in a doc camping ground [$5per person]then you can leave you camping shit-road tyres etc at my place-safe

worth thinking about scott,cheers,will have a good think about it as that would still be quite a few K's on my $$imex tyres on the road...

will be leaving here at around lunch-1pm'ish so if you give me your number i will give you a bell when we are near there and decide then...maybe...

Had a wee stuff up this morning, drove to work only to find I'd left gear behind and had to come home :oops:

... anyway since work is an hr up the toupo rd and I'm in for a late start I"ll go back to work and head from there tonight so be at the pub tonight

:drunken:

Cheers Reece

well im leaving here very shortly,havent heard from anyone with regards to comming with me so ill be driving allone...*sniffle*cry*

no idea where you live scotty but you have my number( 027 2705895 ) so give me a bell later on if you get the chance, we will either stay at the Rerewhakaaitu camp or minginui camp,will make that descision when we get nearer the place... see how we go.would be good to leave the gear in a safe place,but the idea of running my $$imex's on the road is painfull.....

hear from you later.
