Aaaah, I believe you may have the solar powered eskie from the Yamaha accessories catalogue, hmmmm? Best bet would be to whack the wrapped fish into the airbox & it would be beautifully steamed on arrival.

This looks like a bit of fun Rosie so we are interested.

Let us know when and where once you have more sorted.

Great to see so much interest in the ride

I'll start thinking about possible dates, and post up some suggestions.

I am still open to suggestions for a good place to camp/ride.
Thinking out loud here... There are quite a few campsites along the Waikaremoana road, including the aptly named Rosie Bay (although it's quite small, and may be popular being free, and next to the lake)
From Waikaremoana we could be well placed to do some exploring around some of the roads between Wairoa and Matawai.

Or, the Kuripapango, or Lawrence camp sites on the Napier Taihape could give us a chance to ride the last little bit of gravel, before it is gone forever.

There are a few campsites around Pureora, but I'd have to give some thought to the gravel roads we could do in the area.

Let me know if there are any other good places we could go. I will peruse maps over the weekend.

As the inspiration for this idea, I am definitely keen.

The campsites in Pueroa were pretty good, good creek/river to clean/swim in, and bbq's provided.

I would supply recipes ahead of time (matched to cooking abilities), everyone cooks up their designated dish (maybe in pairs? who knows), then we enjoy our Masterchef buffet, while critiquing others cooking abilities.

Recipes would be chosen so that they are suitable for adventure touring: easy to prepare, ingredients you can (usually) find at the supermarket, non-perishable and pack fairly small.

First of all I'd just like to state for the record the CCCC ride will be a 'Man BBQ'!

Second, Rosie & Clint, to make it more evil, you could keep the recipes to yourselves and divide up the ingredients amoungst those attending to bring and then give the recipes/ingredients out on the day.......

I would prefer Central verses Eastern. I will put my thinking cap on.... By a river or lake? Thermal area? (and near a good take away shop..)

I think that going shopping and selecting the right ingredients is an important step in the path to becoming a master adventure chef.

While surprise recipes could be extremely amusing, I have to eat this food too, so setting people up for failure may not be a good strategy.

Failure is not an option with food

If it cant be fixed by adding tomatoe sauce

then its inedible

I think this is a fantastic Idea....but I voted ''other" because I suffer from "cooking impairment disfunction". I wouldn't subject a starving rat to my cooking....OK, thats an exaggeration....maybe a KLR owner or two

Does this mean the venue has to be in a cell phone coverage area !! How much is delivery to a campsite, GPS co-ordinates .......

Yes. People can either decide what to cook themselves, or I can supply a recipe. Recipes will be matched with peoples cooking abilities.
One recipe/dish/whatever between two people should provide plenty of food. And things cooked by committee have to taste better, right?

And we have narrowed it down to two campsites:
Mangamate, at the start of the Waikaremoana road

Or, Lake Rerewhakaaitu, south of Rotorua.

I've never been to Rerewhakaaitu, so I'll pop down one evening this week and check it out. Mangamate has recently been done up a bit, and has a nice big dining shelter.
