I got a portable bbq and could knock up some gongs.
Awesome,
I have a 6 litre thermette for water. and can bring a cooker and LPG bottle also. Can chuck in a chainsaw and an axe etc.
If someone had a decent big tarp we can string up? Otherwise I can grab something.
I might drag the quad bike out of the shed and see if it will still run too.
Not that much water up the Leatham, and anyway, piss off its cold...
I can supply gongs x3 as made by VC.
Can bring a good 3 burner stove.
Can do big tarp. Also got a little 1kva geny if needed. I don't think we will be needing the 12v freezer somehow
Do we want to throw a roast and veg into some camp ovens for Sat night tea?
Sounds like a plan.:thumbsup:
Will have to have a catchup before hand Roktoy, and sort some detail out
I could do genny and floodlights if wanted but probably going overboard.
Over board my arse. I could bring my electric blanket ;)
Best I tell the family we are going camping... :cool:
[QUOTE=gadgetman;609265]I could go 10 minutes down the road from Argile and have a bed in front of a fireplace.

I take it we are talking the Caves Hut?
Have a great time. Took my kids, aged 3 and 5 in there, same time of year about 9 years ago. They had a great time, except when I took my youngest to the long drop in the middle of the night. She said "I'm not having a good time!"
@223nut, dog permits available from renwick@doc.govt.nz
They require your name, address and phone number, Dogs name, gender, breed, colour and rego number for your dog and also the name of the council which your dog is registered with.
Also small game permit is probably an idea, from same office I think. I am emailing them now regarding this. To see if .17hmr are ok as some places only allow .22, .22hornet and shotgun on small game permit. @Shearer yes Caves hut, next to the airstrip
There is a heap of firewood on the skid site by the top intake,just need a chainsaw.The eels under the wharf at St-Arnaud are worth a visit for something to fill in the day for the kids,take some rabbit guts.
I was quietly hoping to escape away and join in, but going to be in Chch from Sat night til Tues. The lads been selected to play in the International Football Tournament, so should really be there. Next time I'll be in.....so long as you accept members south of the Rakaia.
Much easier logistics to stay in the same island
Yep, not going to make the Toby shoot so better meet some of you dodgy buggers somehow. We just need a friendly farmer down in the south island for somewhere to get a south island shoot / knees up / get together going on.
How far can we shoot at leathem? If I can get the permit for 17HMR would be keen to take it out past 200m and see what hapoens
@223 nut there is an airstrip next to the hut,
I have asked for a permit for .17HMR also. but my scope will likely let me down
41°48'22.04"S 173°11'24.83"E gets you near the hut. Airstrip appears to be 400 metres +/- on google earth.
Might be out of the 17HMR range unless I hand it to @Dundee skilled hands with a rimfire. Might throw all the toys in... See what happens earlier in the week, hoping to put something n the freezer ut depends how long the house guests are here for..
Don't worry @Dundee, I will play your part for you. After all, I am almost short enough
