At this stage I reckon we will all fit on my road end Mohawk660 and that will put us right in amongst it. You are as welcome as a drink to a thirsty man.Quote:

I cant spell but we will be in the Ureweras, in the Whiranki Forest. The word Forest is a dead giveaway..... If we see each other in the bush someone is doing something wrong. And I for one would prefer not to see Mucko's ugly mug !
Absolutely RODSTA we will not even see one another except for in the camp. Get on Google Earth and have a look to the west of Minginui beyond Arohaki Lagoon. We will be in that area.Quote:

Thanks.
If you like your car I wouldn't drive it up there but there is a place to park up not far from the end.Quote:

Scouser was just in there a few weeks ago so I imagine the way in is clear.Quote:

Rushyy if there are too many wagons going then some can be left at the jail house for a small fee. Especialy the non 4x4. I have done it before.
I will try to do both Rushy ;)Quote:

Can you PM me the road end or where you camp @Rushy so I can do some snooping around and get a travel time
Gibo it is about an hour and twenty past Rotorua down through Murupara over the hill toward Te Whaiti and turn right to Minginui. We could drive out and meet you at the Mangamate Falls DoC camp at Minginui and lead you in from there.Quote:

So incase I do pull this off, I think I'm best to just leave after work Friday and be there about 7.
I have a small 1 man tent, will that be the business or whats the camp set up? Could zip our sleeping bags together Rushy? :XD:
Mate I am taking a four man tent and Mucko is going to bring a hua of a big 12 man tent so just bring a stretcher and a sleeping bag as the should be shit loads of room.
FUCK!!!!! The Minginui Hilton it is!! Cool sounds like a plan and a half!Quote:
