Yes I plan to stay there on the Friday night.

Start time on Saturday, we would like to be away from there 9 to 9.30 again depends on where people are coming from. That gives us morning tea at Ohura.

Hi young1, I called up the Awakino Hotel to make a booking for Friday night, they already have a block booking for a motorcycle group on that night of approx 20 riders. Is this for our ride? I said yes anyway.
Cheers

Poos! it is not our group!! There is a Rotorua group staying there, the hotel is contacting that group to see how many beds they need. They will let me know how many they have left over.

Awakino seems to be an awfully long detour to make from the end of fishers track then have to head back towards whangamomona again the next morning.

Wouldnt Owhango pub or somewhere in Taumaranui seem a better idea to stay for friday night ?????

Just my 2 cents worth.

All my updates are now combined on page one with the original ride details

Motoxnut it is a way to ride but by starting at Awakino we get a better ride on Saturday (however we can still meet any one planning on staying at Whanga, Taumarunui etc)

Mike, I have booked myself in for the house on Friday. Will work the 'how i'm gonna get there' later. ie see what Iain comes up with!!

Probably a dumb question but I,m planning to meet up on the sat morning somewhere like Ohura as suggested but do I need to book the Te Wera Sat night accommodation or is the a given that my names on the list just checking

Cool, Phil and I will look after the bookings at Te Wera, we will take them off the list of people attending (and other Naki riders that we know about)

Just another accommodation option for those who want to stay on the coast, Mokau is only 5 km from Awakino, also has a pub, takeaways etc and more beds there if Awakino fills up. See ya'll up there

Oh yeah, what's the deal at Te Wera campground? Tents required or do they have a big lodge or something. In other words, do I need to bring sleeping bag or will they provide a luxurious bed with crisp linen for a filthy biker?
Young1, please put my order in for one of their best looking sheep.

I see Young1 has quoted $25 for evening meal there, and $25 for the accom, so I'm guessing there must be a bunk hall or something similar. Need to find out where to get beer, so you guys can hear me snore

To answer the last few questions;

Mokau, there is no pub there, but there is a motel.

I don't know what the cost of the Whanga pub is.

Te Wera camp is an old foresty camp that has been converted over the years to a camp that the schools now use for outdoor education. They have a new hall and kitchen block after the last one burnt down. You will need sleeping bags.

Cost for Te Wera is $50.00 all up for food and accomodation. One of the requirements is that we clean it before we leave so I am sure everyone will chip on with that.

Re booze, a mate of mine might come out and just ride day two on his KDX200 (he can also lead anyone who wants to go thru the Whanga rode) he (not that he knows it yet) will bring the beers out. Failing that we will find another way to get them there!

Since work is escalating into a ferocious cluster fuck, due to lack of skilled staff, and lack of structured planning. I know, "it's the kiwi way", I will plan on scoffing down some stale bread with rancid butter on Sat morning, an head for Ohura if that is still a planned meeting point.
Mike, I'll see ya this Sat etc
