there's camping on christmas night in the pits otherwise a few campgrounds round the town, most people are packed up and showered then off to prizegiving and a decent bed boxing night.

We'll be riding down at stupid o'clock.

[nodrog:Me]

Theres a Voltswagon van that has free accomodation inside, i believe it also has free candy.

I'm taking my brother down, his first time there, and we'll cruise down the previous day. Makes for a long-ish day otherwise and he hasn't seen any of the roads either. Plus, a cruisy start the next day, don't have to worry about your gear or the bike etc.

There is no official event camping site, however there are a few local camping grounds, Aramoho Holiday 10, Castlecliff still has a site I think, and another at Bignell St (again not sure if this is still going either).
I'd go with the Holiday 10 first.......

We leaving Hams at 6.00ish - got that 104km thing to watch out for

Stuff it. Just booked a motel in Otorohanga, Christmas night to break up the trip.

I've sorted my cruise control and ipod out... yawn... ;-)

Say no, stranger danger...


I think the organisers or local authorities are missing a trick, I've been to many a biking event where the council or local football club etc will give up a playing field for people to camp at and have a right knees up.

Castlecliff ..

hell, haven't heard that name for years, does the pigpen still exist, only pub ive been to where the floor, bar, leaners, and bar stools were all concrete so they could house it all out with the fire hose at the end of the night
luckily i was with someone who knew someone when we went in, got some mighty strong stares when i first went in bein as i was by far the whitest guy in the pub, and that was back in the day when people used to think i was maori

I wouldn't take a bike into Bignell St, Not only is the surounding area a piece of shit but most of the residents at the camp ground are just one step up from homeless.

Crackerheads

Boozers

Thieves.

The Cuzzy has a slkightly better camp but its still not where I would be going, Lots of patches and wannabees nearby.

If I were looking for accomodation in Wanganui....I'd be looking for accomodations somewhere that wasn't in Wanganui.

I take that back, Anndion Lodge is a fine establishment though it has limited capacity.

Watch out for your bikes and cars on the day, The event attracts more then a few cunts that are just there to steal your shit.
