    There is a small camp store at the bay, but you are probably best to buy in Nelson just in case. It will be fine in a chilly bin for the drive out to Okiwi. Our beers never get warm

    I will txt you on where best to get both.

    Looking at heading up very early on Friday morning. Drove the road last week and decided I will never do that again. Traffic and road works were insane.

    Blue water is back, a large run of it from the top of Durville extending up past Cape Soucis about a mile out from the coast? Still a lot of green/mud water to clear!

    Just to cover basics , towels soap and water and eating cooking gear all there. So sleeping bag , and a mattress maybe an idea if we get a mob if not I'm pretty sure we can find a soft spot for everyone!

    As a lot of people have said it is a bit weather dependent , so I'm there Thursday night and we have a landline at the batch with an answer phone so if your traveling from afar and want to check the weather before hauling through then by means phone ahead leave a name / number and I will contact you asap! ( PM for details thanks) .

    Just to be add I'm going all the same so if your good at cheating at cards and are up to surfcasting off a beach in a howling gale and rain or up for a drive through to French pass and chuck gear to the fishing gods then this could be the trip for you! What ever happens there's a hot shower and a cold beer and some grub at the end of the day!

    Buzzing about it to be honest a lot of amazing people to catch up with and some excellent people to meet!

    I can bring a few kilos of Venny steak but hopefully we will be eating tons of seafood

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    There is a seat in my wagon if ya change your mind.

    I will be leaving 0 dark hundred on Friday and late home Sunday as the traffic is horrendous during the day from Murch and back from Nelson.
    I have to drive past your front gate to be fair. What more reason do you need.

    I'm looking forward to this too. I may be able to get out on the water, I may not, just depends on the day. Either way I'll be getting up there somehow and getting some gear wet.
