Very talkative aren't ya !! Got my Dog Rtr warranted and registered today. May come out and meet ya's. Where you staying Sat night ie; what time you be at Whanga ?
Loose plan for ride up on Friday 30th (open to suggestions)
Leave BP Paraparaumu at 9am - Coffee in Shannon - Gas at Ashurst if needed
Pohangina Rd - Finis Rd - Ridge Rd - Apiti - Main South Rd - Te Para Para Rd
via Karewarewa - Upper Kawhatau and a shit load of gravel to Taihape for lunch
Hang a left north of Taihape to Mataroa and onto Ruanui Rd then up Turakina Valley Rd to Rangiwaea Junction and west on Owhakura Rd to Bells Junction
then via Oruakukuru Rd - Otranui Rd - Pakihi Rd to Clowns Cafe in Raetahi for coffee. From Raetahi to Taumarunui I'm open to suggestions
Also some thought is being given to staying Fi Sat and Sun nights in Taumarunui and spending Monday doing a leisurely cruise back to Wellywood
Going away, busy?

Shit Mark, you actually sound organised. In that case I'd better take the Friday off and join you from Ashhurst.
Anyone got a spare (unoccupied) bed for the Friday and Saturday. I only snore when I'm drunk.
OK - lets aim to be at Whanga at 9.30 and start the track at 10 - should be back at Whanga for lunch before 1? - keep you demanding Auckland primadonnas happy
Don't think anyone's got that bit organized yet. I'm prolly going to be an antisocial tit and get a motel unit.
I need to book for fri/saturday night, anyone have a spare bed?
Or I shall book a cabin and have a spare bed if someone needs it.

While driving through Taumarunui recently I noticed the hospital has some rooms with bars on the windows - these should suit you guys quite nicely.
Thanks for the offer but I'm with Mark, not as in literally "with Mark in his room" but in following his lead in opting for a motel in Taumarunui. Somewhere walking distance to the "attractions" and with a decent (= my own for the time I am there) shower.
There is also a very nice cafe at the north end of Taumarunui, just before the road Junction (not open Monday's though).

Sh*t doesn't just "happen". There is always an a*sehole involved.
I'll have a spare bed Sat night but I'm waiting on a couple things to see if I stay in T-nui Fri night or not. Will take my chances to see if they or one of you has a spare bed when my plans are set.
Should do Fishers both ways Mark![]()
