at least bluebridge stay at the one price ($105 bike and body - 1 way) where as interislander ramp up prices as the boat fills up so lets go with the bluebridge 7pm sailing?

I think that forces us to stay in Picton/Waikawa on Thur night.

if you all used the same there might be a discount available

I'll phone and ask if no one objects to crossing time.

The current MNZ discount would be $75 for 1 adult and 1 bike.
Only in off-peak times.

Thanks o nordic one

Thats a great saving - can you just use that code or do you need some sort of MNZ membership?

BTW - liked the banjo - can you play it?

WOW! Thats a fantastic savings Fran.

Thanks for the heads up - really useful for those of us on the very tight end of budget world!

Guys, I used the MNZ code for my trip down south last month. Think it was about $130 return. We should get a group sorted and do a group booking as that is what it is supposed to be used for. What ya think?

At that sort of cost for the ferry i think i could stretch the coffers to join in on this one.

Being an MNZ member helps assuage the guilt feelings from using the code but YGMV*

I do a sick 5-string air banjo I'll have you know.

As an aside... The word banjo sounds very like the Japanese word for toilet.

Good plan Jez! I certainly could do with saving the extra bucks, would help!

[Box'a'bits]

Those dates work for me & $130 return ferry would mean that I would be a definite starter for this. Where to from here?

Cheers

This is getting interesting - we're gonna have to have a headcount soon if we're thinking group booking aren't we?
And if we do the group booking, how do we handle the "I'd really really like to but can't confirm yet" people?

BASTARDS. Do you realise I'm going to have to buy a new bike now.

Guess I'll have to go to plan C.

Plan A = 690E
Plan B = 650X
Plan C = Dog Rooter 650
Plan D = Keep the DRZ
Plan E = Walk

Bloody recession, f*cking with my ability to buy toys.

"A" was always excellence when I was at school.

I may be interested depending on dates.

Interested in ..... school or excellence? which?

Shit. I'd already booked that week off work. Problem is.................I promised to take the missus on holiday.

Perhaps we could holiday in Nelson. We could go a few days early. She could fly and I'll ride.

Devious

Somehow, I don't think it will work.

you got to be able to fguire something out. get a cardboard cutout of you looking attentive - maybe she won't notice.

We are talking about a 1000k loop - the DRZ will give you one of these




how do I setup a poll?
