My family owns the camp ground so I can work out a deal there's a bbq there to that im sure we can use thinking maybe stay until the 27th then continue the loop via whitianga will be great for those who cant be with their families come one come all all walks of life are welcome young old the more the merrier.

We live about 100 metres from Coro harbour and are usually out fishing over Xmas but our daughter has been inconsiderate enough to get married up here just after Xmas which has completely screwed our fishing plans up :laugh:

That's great that she's getting married but the fishing almost outweighs that lol

Noones is not even a word. But give it time, still four weeks away yet, Hayden is right though, not the best time to be on those roads. The frustration levels can inspire wrong decision making.

Good people Evans family. Zane will be looking to retirement now that the kids are taking over the farm :)

We use to have the caravan parked right by the entrance on the left.

Might see you there

Coro loop for me is a day trip, and I don't wanna be "one of those guys" who makes the bad mistake so I might stay behind.

You mean the Coro roads will be crazy... I normally stay well away.

Christmas Eve, crazy, people trying to get somewhere for Christmas. Boxing Day, everyone hits the road after Christmas. My bro and I will head to Wanganui Christmas Day, for the boxing day races... his first time there :yes:
