My sleeping bag is bloody cold. Should I borrow a warmer one off my uncle? Are we outside on the deck?

**deanohit** · 27th March 2008, 22:33

May pay to borrow the warmer one, better too hot than too cold when your trying to rest.

**EJK** · 27th March 2008, 23:32

Sounds fun!

Have fun guys

Quilts and blankets are available out there, and northerly winds are about, so shouldn't be cold.

Our plan so far is to go for an explore along Leslie Rd, from Mamaku to Putaruru, and then take an as-yet-undecided route to Raglan. Hopefully Clint has some interesting secret plans and will share them with us.

A bit cool tonite here in Waiouru.....comfy in the motorhome but!! A good few people here already, with good weather for the weekend seems that there should be a good turn out. Were fed watered and bikes all locked away, should get on the piss now I 'spose?
Cheers folks.

You can hire a bike called a royal enfield 350 or 500 there great fun but a shocking ride next to no suspension but its cheap ay I did that in a couple of places there and its a lot of fun, heaps of people are doing it alot of people buy them and try to sell them later so youcan pick them up pretty cheap as well

Lalle Sihgn M/cycle's in New Delhi can hire Enfields, Porters, and camping gear to you cheaply. (even a mechanic if need be).
Good luck getting to ride round the Taj.
Large river delta on one side of it, and a heap of immaculately cared for gardens on the other side. Well worth taking the train to Agra, just for the experience.
One thing you will learn is the food is delicious, but doesn't stick around long.
Quick release Velcro pants would be the answer.
And don't run into any cows

Enjoy.

Deano and me are watching Dirty Harry to put us in the right mind set to catch up with Bass and Crisis tomorrow.
