I flipping hope not.

Otherwise i will be one stranded, lost Disco dan... miles from home and very very little money.

[Disco Dan]

I have no way of charging my satnav - that means im going to get lost very quickly.

Only a couple hundy bucks to get me accross ferry and gas... food... smokes... place to sleep etc etc and back to Auckland.

...oh and FYI I have to be at work 10am sunday.

...Fun...

Bit of a laugh though, you got to giggle....

Why does that not surprise me?

There's really only one road North out of Chch. It's a clear night, take a bearing on the Southern Cross and head northish. Around 170km start looking for a township (it's a small one) and a BP station.

When y' get to Blenheim (can't miss it) bear westish to Picton. When y' feet get wet, stop. You've reached Cook Strait.

Even you can't go wrong. Keep the sea on your right hand, and the big mountains on your left hand.

(EDIT You can grab some sleep on the ferry)

[Deviant Esq]

You still around Disco? I'll come shout ya a beer.

Just sent you a text - did ya get it?

OK Dan,,
I am in Kaikoura,, you have to travel thru here tonight to get to Picton. I texted you but if you want to get to Picton Overnight via STHW1 you go thru here about 180kms north of CHCH. Then about 140-150 kms to Piton ferry. If you are going to be here after midnight you will not get Petrol for you new bike...... But I run a Security Business here and have a guy working over night.. He could carry a 20litre container if I asked him and you could meet him here, and get some gas to get you to Picton. But I need to know before about 930pm... is so reply here,, and I will provide contact details.. or something to make it work..Cash to cover roughly is fine..

On my way. Look for a red Kwaka 600...

Dan, be aware that there's fuck all places to get petrol along that road (unless it's change din recent years). If you miss Kaikoura, you'll need a range of at least 350km to make Picton. There used to be petrol a t Ward, I think, but it was a one pump place back then.

EDIT: If the new bikes a tourer can y' strap a couple of 5 litre cans on behind?

[TimeOut]

Mobil at Ward don't know if it's 24hr though

[kevfromcoro]

Sounds like things are going a bit wrong......keep ya cell with you..and keep sticking posts in here.....someone will help for sure.....
Been down this road a couple couple of times myself.
bikers will help one another

Shit luck with the guy getting sprung.

Best option fuel wise is to leave ChCh fuel up at Amberley hoot through to Kaikoura (organise the arranged fuel) the Servo there shuts early if it's a quiet night, then head through to Blenheim (189kms ChCh -Kiakoura, 132kms Kiakoura -Blenheim, 29kms Blenheim to Picton) Get the early morning freight Ferry no need to book or anything just pay at the terminal and ride on, Best feeds too as they cater for the truckies!!

Ward not 24hrs,, as I said my guy can carry gas,, or could direct you to a wharf pump we just talked about that can use eftpos card to get 96 unleaded only,, not 91,, but that is a option..
