Well I hope to be down for it, and I know of one other north islander who may be coming....so how much are the ferry prices?

It drizzled the last couple times, and there was little to no cover, so lots buggered off to bed early. Are they planning to have some sort of marquee or tent to shelter if it should rain or drizzle again?

Ferry prices should be about $146 return, bike & rider.
Drizzle, better than a summer run, problem last year it didn't snow long enough.

Hi. Yes rain has been a bit of an issue for the last couple of rally's but we have had 27 dry ones! The issue with the tent thing is the risk with the bonfire setting the bloody thing on fire and having a major drama...so no sorry no tent but it will not rain so no problem....
