Jake the Bus goes to Christchurch. Contacts on ferries needed.

I seem to recall Shaun trying to do exactly the same after the first big shake - the emergency support services in Ch-ch told him to naff off...?

The reason why is because they don't have the logistics to actually deal with incoming equipment like this that isn't through the normal channels.

Best thing you can do is contact the student army down in chch who are helping out and work through them, therefore getting in to the correct channels that are already setup.

Just seen on the telly, offers of help can be emailed to earthquakehelp@msd.govt.nz , might help with pointing whatever you've got in the right direction.

Right, knowing fully well that I will look like a right arsehole:

5 of the 8 people who promised to take part yesterday, have called the whole thing off. Usual excuses, boss changed his mind, wife won't let me go etc. This includes the principal owner of the bus. So, unfortunately, it isn't happening. Trust me, I'm not happy about this, and I'm sorry for all of you, who've done their bit to help.
The only good thing to come out of this is about 2.5 tonnes of supplies that will make their way to PBT an CHCH respectively.

Once again, I'm sorry for making it look like I can pull this off when, in fact, I clearly can't. Looks like I'll have to rethink who my friends are.

Sorry folks.

Yup. Same bus. Part resurrected plan. Without my participation. Don't even ask.
