Ashley George 18/11/07

Post by PR »

Annyone keen :?: Plan of attack is:-

Heading down the Ashley from the Gorge campgound at about 1000 on Sunday 18/11/07.

Head down river until we hit the north bank track after the Okuku and then play in the mud.(if there is any left)

Tow Hooks a must :!: :!: :!:
Snorkles a must :!: :!: :!:
AT tyres minimmum :!:

Directions to camp ground=

From Chch head out along the Northern motorway,and take the first off ramp to the left after the Waimak. This is Tram Road.
Drive Tram road (all the way to the endof it) until you get to Oxford Rd at an area called Bennetts. Turn left here.A short distance along Oxford Road is the Town Oxford. Turn Right at the first intersection in Oxford onto Ashley GorgeRoad.
About 5 minutes drive is the Gorge campground on the left, just before the Ashley river.

Christchurch people can meet at the Belfast pub between 0900 -0915. Leaving there dead on 0915 if anyone nterested. Otherwise meet at the campground down by the river for a 1015 departure. I will not wait past 1015

I've now got myself a diff. All going to plan they will both be in and working - so my current plan is to be there. Also have a mate who was dead keen last time and will most likely be again.

Only other thing that may interfere with me is that I'm heading over seas a couple days after but everything should be in place.
Sold my 1985, BJ74 MWB Landcruiser, rear locker, 33" MTs, snorkel, PTO winch, solid bars all round, spotties, AM CB etc.
Now just a 1994, 1kz Surf, pretty standard.
