Unfortunately a fact of life for us lot stuck up here in paradise. Kaimais is nearest and that is only 2 and a bit hours, but bloody hard work once you get there. I personally prefer to drive the extra and go to Ruatahuna.
Well done on the hunt outinabout. Do you think spring is sprunging down there yet or still a bit early?
Nice to have one hanging up in camp early into a trip Outnabout ,bit of prime veni great addition to the freezer too.
Not so bad VC if you can swing a few days leave to tack onto a weekend ,makes it worth while.
Like Rushy saying its normal, be nice to live in the Nelson lakes district ,or anywhere in the south island again .
Not so :) I am 5 Minutes from Otawa, 40 minutes from Kaimai's and 40 minutes from Rotorua lakes area.
North Island is all good. :) Only place in North Island that sucks is Wellington but thats because Auckland blows!!!!! :) Oh wait thats the wrong way around? :wtfsmilie:
Picked up a mate on the way down. Stopped in Taupo for a couple of hours for another mate then on from there. Makes for a long day both ways. We were on a private back country block.
Love the Ureweras. Go there every year for the roar.
Some good looking veny there;)
