I'd be keen to help out as support mech. I have seen loads of number eight wire and farm gate hinges to fix bikes with up there.

That brief looks all good to me, i'll start setting some cash aside for food and what not and also i'll look more seriously into getting those patches. Nothing like a patch to hold a memory.

Brief looks good to me so far too.

That one I was going to look at fitted the criteria too.

Going back when we did was the best choice still.

There is a petrol station at Houhora, and there are petrol pumps at Waitiki Landing. My understanding is that you cant rely on the pumps at Waitiki Landing to be open (and you will pay a small fortune for stale 91 octane fuel).

Well this was the case when we did the Northern Exposure Tour over aniversery weekend, if it has changed since then, sue me

we just need to find someone to donate shirts and i will get them printed up!

i am accepting ideas on graphic designs for shirts SO GET CREATIVE

a prize will be awarded to whom ever has the right design that will be used.

The official word (from mum

) is that there is petrol at both Houhora/ Pukenui, and the last gas is at Waitiki Landing, about 24km from the top. But as has been mentioned, cant rely on them to be open, and will be PAINFULLY expensive. Last normal (or at least close to normal) priced gas will be at Kaitaia.

I have a couple of spare hi-vis vest if people cant find one, and may be able to lay my hands on a few more for the weekend if needed.
