Fark 6th/7th better sort my fj40 out by then or will be well pissed orf

BUMP This is still planned for the 14/15/16 Nov

Discussion has been to concentrate on track maintenence for those summer months, with a couple of helpers to finish off the bits in the hut, if we can get the use of a digger etc on the cheap that might be useful (Gazza).

I will chase up Paul and Graeme with this as it would be good to get the plumbing finished.

Maybe we can spend a little bit of time fixing up the gazebo as well?

FREE ENTRY AND GET FREE PASSES FOR WORK DONE

Yep im in for this one

Me too if I can get the Friday night off work.

plenty of parking up there for your 18 wheeler Ryan

The canopy from the old Challenge Petrol Station along Fergusson Drive in Upper Hutt would make a great Gazebo, it would cover the existing Gazebo, the parking area, the camping area and probably the hut too.

At the moment it is just sitting there, the only remnant of that petrol station.

I think they might want all the South Island freight off it too Jerry.................like on the Friday night.

yep be in for the weekend and have a list of tracks that need sorting out mainly for visitors and such must give them a sense of achievement then screw them over on the rest of rallywoods tracks.........

I am now What tracks are you thinking of....... Finding the tracks is this still happening on the motorbikes...must be soon .. Who has bikes.....???? Is this when we are going to see the postie bike.......

Just a heads up, Graeme is unavaliable to do the plumbing 14-16 Nov so this may be shifted a week or 2 ..... will look at tomorrow.. sorry just got back from the whanga trip..

So when is the update on this thread gonna happen Jerry?

Will be shifted to 21-23rd .... ie the week later

why do we need to worry bout plumbing keep this weekend for serious track clearing .........

are people happy to leave the date as is and then we can have a mini working bee for those keen to help out the week after?

What tracks are you's thinking about clearing......??????? And if someone does both weekends is that two lots passes for both weekends......???????? OR do we only get them when paul is there

nope I can give them out.... , can do either ie work one and play the next or work both?

It would be nice to have a shower up there at some stage and do you know how the fire is going..? We may need to have a look at doing something with the wall in the gazebo to stop the wind coming in...So what ever people want to do . Isnt the firewood loop the next weekend after that...

tracks that must be done are....to donut hole, wong way, cruiser drive (nicks hole to wong way), sliding away (road side), trim scrub up bean hill, maybe look at surprise as tree needs moving.
we need to make some of these accessible to trucks running smaller tyres ........ so bring shovels spades picks loppers chainsaw if you dont want to work but want to drive dont come

Slightly off topic but would a clothes lines up there be a good idea. I can bring one up it's a old extendable one, still works fine but has got a little rusty living next to the sea. If not, in the tip it goes
