failing another lockdown...putting us in home detention it WILL BE first saturday in May...as always.
Its late this year, Saturday 7th May will be opening.
Epic thank you for the quick response. :thumbsup:
Hopefully the later start allows for cooler, wetter, slightly windier weather.
Been a very frustrating last half dozen years of calm clear skies and birds flying up in the stratosphere.
O God another opening birthday I feel the headache coming on alreadyQuote:

I'm sure this topic came up recently in the campfire threadQuote:

Feels like the seasons have slid a few weeks along...Quote:

Could still do both md shoot the morning party by night
hmmmmm...logistics needed to pull that one off bear contemplation...if lake opuha is still toxic again this up coming season,definately be a go......
To be honest pretty keen on another calm, warm and blue skies opening weekend, if the ducks are still coming then beats sitting in the wet and cold.
