So you wanna come to my camp?
This is starting to sound like you guys should have you own private camp:wtfsmilie:
No homo... Nah I just thought I was gonna be a loner so I was going to bring the small tarp for my self to save weight for my poor ole legs but if someone else wants a place to snooze I will bring the big one.
hey if you dudes want to fish the tongariro you have to buy a local fishing licence for the area because the one that covers all of nz wil not cover you in the taupo area. it sucks. also be careful where you fish on the river because some of it is restricted area. there is a big bunch of rules. yip there is a few good camp sites around the area, but been a long weekend you would want to get in early. and if going for a hunt i would wear sum form of blaze orange. it is an intresting area and has a bit of history, there is tunnel races and an underground powerstation all to do do with the local power generation scheme. built back in the late 60s early 70s. that is why turangi exisits today.
Make sure the camp site is by a river or creek with nice cold water

Kaimanawa rd has about 10 camp sites and is on the rivers edge or near enough to it, Urchin you would want to take some containers to cart water as its about 1.5-2k to the river and it also fits about 10 tents. Kaimanawa is more popular so if full its not far to Urchin
I want a creek or river close enough to put some bottles in to keep em cold, beer is shit when warm.
There is water at the camp site on the Urchin track, about 30 metres below the camp. There's a little pipe stuffed into a seep. And then water in the first and last main gullies on your right past the trig, but its a bit of a climb down. The last one is the best to get to.
Guys just a quick update on this as I still haven't given up on the possibility of Waipakihi Road. NZHTR pm'd me with the contavt details of the Tuwharetoa Maori Trust Board that he believed owned the land at the end of Waipakihi Road so I emailed an enquiry to them. It turns out that Tuwharetoa do not manage the land but they were kind enough to forward my enquiry to another trust that they beileve are the managers. I am still waiting a reply and will post more as soon as I know anything.
Good news Rushy. Well I have done some rough calculations in my head and dont think I will be able to come. I hope my calcs are off though.
