BFTP - Blast From The Past Rides

[Maha]

Is there a name for it?
Seem like a great place for a rally!
Indoor heated pool, Nurses home is now accom, think they can cater for 150 plus?

Not sure what it's called, but i've seen the prog too a while back.

Probably was, fact is though, it looks like a great place to chill for a few days, might try and find a website.

OK yungatart I'll bite, what was so exciting about this first BFTP ride you guys went on?
Maha, "special hospital" Ever been to Spookers? A large part of it's appeal and intrigue comes from the fact that it was a "special hospitat"
Was thinking it might've been The Mission Estate, went there for lunch late last year, awesome food, great wine and what a fantastic place to stay, if only I had enough! money to not have to worry about it.
When you find that web site mate let us know aye, sounds like another possible BFTP ride destination.

I see Maha has beaten me to it!
The Pukeora Estate was a TB sanitorium in its day, followed by a rehab unit for people with head injuries.

Mission Estate is lovely, but my favourite winery would have to be Sacred Hill, just beautiful!

Yeah I was thinking of that place for a National KB rally, something like what Lissa had a go at organising a couple of years ago.
Might put my thinking cap on and investigate further.
'rehab unit for people with head injuries'.....sound perfect!....
