Looking at planning a central HB adventure

**offrd** · 30th May 2010, 21:56

Hi Guys!

I have just made contact with an old friend who owns a huge sheep station in central hawkes bay, It looks to be possible to use this as a base for an adventure ride in the area and could also cover a number of farms in the area including a ride to the top of the highest hills in the district, happens to be on his farm!

Thinking might be a good idea??? What do you guys think???

I'd be in. Just up the road for me.

Which Station?

**Eddieb** · 30th May 2010, 22:11

Duncan, if I ever find another job, I would love to join you.
Ah, but then I won't have any holidays accrued, eh?
Bugger!
Looks like I'm screwed either way.

I am thinking an overnight at least. Sure a woolshed or shearers quarters will be around somewhere! Them woolly white pigs dont have zips to take the fluff off!

Could be a starter for this one. Feel like a weekend away from the big city.
