I know it's a week away (and I don't want to jinx anything) but look at Fri/Sat/Sun of next week http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/kaitaia

Your organisational skills are quite superb!!

2011 was mint, last year we got rain for the second half of Saturday, but an ice cream from Bush Fairy Dairy made up for that

Another weather site I use says the same, but only goes a week out http://www.metvuw.com/forecast/forec...n=nzni&tim=168

I'm quite pleased to see that, for no particular reason

You have a good ground sheet surely, and it is on sand. Torrential rain should be high five for you????????

You will be fine young Padwan!

Well I've got my $80 tent that I've used, um, twice I think? And a $6 tarp from the warehouse. And a freshly serviced bike to get me there.

[Yoda voice] A learning experience I am looking for it is [/Yoda voice] though so bring it on...I think?

You can have your bike with you on the grass area if you want, the trampoline has gone and the tables will up at the whare kai. Just bring a jar lid for the side stand so that it doesn't sink into ground as they sometimes can.
PS: Was Yoda in Star Wars/Rings or Titanic?

My leg you do pull, surely?

Star Wars: A Jedi master he was.

Well, the force is supposedly in all things...but mainly Star Wars. Haven't seen Titanic (sorry Kate, liked you in Eternal Sunshine though) but Gollum I guess could be Yoda after a hard night?

"Yoda vs Gollum", now there's a whole new franchise idea (don't tell George.)

I can lend you a macpac cocoon (one man tent), small, warm and waterproof. Great in the bush.

Does it vibrate as well?

Only when it gets swamped by possums

Thanks but mine should be OK, hasn't really been tested much so far which is why I want to use it again. Er, not expecting to go bush anytime soon either, sigh.
