In reality the Cold one would cost around $350 bucks to get to and back, without any re hydration fluids added, and of course food. But then who needs food?

And value for cash would be had by going South. Means I might be able to buy myself somthing less glowing to keep me warm.

That's what I was thinking mostly...why do one in the north when you can do two in the south?

Thought I'd share a few pics from the last PP rally - it was my first.

The ride out to Nugget point and short walk to the lighthouse is really spectacular.
The only potential downside to this rally is that it is right on the Coast at a cool time of year - if you get some easterly weather it could get pretty wet and miserable, but the bonfires and marquee and a bit of internal fortification keeps anything like that at bay if you are prepared.

The day cruise ride out is a feature and was good fun - as XK said the band was really good last year
pic1 - Kaitangata pub on the cruise
pic2 - from the lighthouse at Nugget point (theres 4 different types of seal that breeds in the rock pools below the track out here)
pic 3- KB group, marquee etc in background
pic 4- party time

I downloaded the free IrfanView software that allows you to reduce file sizes amoungst many other things - when you do that and also put it into JPeg files it seems to be able to reduce the file size dramatically without too much loss of clarity.
My camera is a 4 MP with a large lens compared to the more compact cameras you get now with small lenses that use very much higher MP to get good pictures (and therefore file sizes get very large)
