Akaroa for the night on the 5th Feb

[Ms Piggy]

Any more details?
Is the ride still on?

No more details yet. I need to wait until my cousin is back at work and then I'll post the details. But, I'm definitely staying there and definitely riding over on the 5th Feb and you're all welcome to stay.

Cheers CSL

ok, now I know I am going completely mad.... for some really fecked up reason I was sure that either the date for the ride was 5th of January or that we were in the start of February, not sure which but either way it does not bode well for my mental state or my reading ability [thinks to himself that perhap he shouldn't me admitting to this slip in sanity]. Anyway, glad that I didn't miss out on a trip to Akaroa today... might just have to head over there tomorrow, maybe the madness has been brought on by too little riding.

...to hear the details of the Akaroa place back from my cousin. I don't even know where exactly it is yet.

Just thought I'd let all interested parties know that it's definitely still happening and I reckon we could try for a BBQ and general drinking of liquid refereshments.

[Ms Piggy]

Ok here's some info on the house.

I'll be in ChCh on the 4th Feb, but I'm not too sure where would be a good central meeting point. Can 1 of you ChCh lot suggest somewhere?

Details about the house in Akaroa:

The house is two-storey “Colonial-style” approximately 125 years old. It sleeps 14 people (approx.) over five bedrooms (double and single beds and a child’s cot). It is fully furnished except for personal sheets/blankets/sleeping bags, which tenants need to bring. Some spare pillows are supplied but we recommend tenants bring their own pillows.

Bedroom 1: Double bed, single bed, child’s drop-side cot and mattress. Wardrobe. French doors open onto west-facing deck. Bedside cabinets

Bedroom 2: Two double beds; one single bed. Duchess & drawers. Bedside cabinets

Bedroom 3: Small room. Single bed. Bedside cabinet

Bedroom 4: Two single beds (can accommodate portable 3rd temporary bed provided by tenants). Bedside cabinet between beds.

Bedroom 5: Two single beds. Bedside cabinet between beds

Off-street carpark for 2 to 3 vehicles via lay-by off driveway shared with rear neighbour. No parking in driveway !!!.

There is a concrete block barbecue (charcoal or driftwood) & outdoor tables and chairs etc, with lots of grass (which is mowed by a local contractor). French doors from lounge and main bedroom open onto a west-facing deck. Clothes line. ‘Front lawn cricket’ is a popular pursuit.

Sounds pretty good aye! If you want to come and stay can you please PM me.

Also if everyone could possibly flick a couple of bucks my way per person Sorry to ask but, apparently if it's a larger group they ask for pay more. When I say a couple I do only mean say $2- each b/c there was originally only 2 of us going anyway.

Na I mentioned Halswell cos its on the way to Akaroa before you leave the city limits, ya have to go throught it to get there.... so kinda made sence, then no one will get lost between lights.
