thanks Mick - look fwd to meeting you and your Merry Band - with the references to heat pumps between you and pals do I detect some of you may not be tenting? gotta admit I'm attracted to a warm bed - cheers Aslan

No tents for us, a credit card and toothbrush is all you need.

The heatpump and hot shower is just a bonus

thanks DMC - sounds really good! I'd better get on to it - where are you guys staying close to Oturehua? Cheers

You could try the Ranfurly Pub but this late you maybe lucky to find anything.

**XF650** · 13th May 2009, 22:12

I'm in the Maniototo tomorrow with work so will check out digs for the softies.
Pikers - there's nothing like not being able to get out of the tent for a piss cause the zips are iced up!!

Cheers Struan - looking forward to catching up and yes if push comes to shove I'll be tenting cheerfully - i think

My son and I are on a sailing from Wellington to Picton on Thursday AM 28/5 if that's any help - heading for Ashburton to hook up with XF650 and the Southern Men to ride to the Brass and beyond returning to Wellington (God willing :-) ) on Tuesday 2 June

Perhaps one of the Blenheim or Nelson lads / lasses could meet us at Picton or Blenheim. I think XF650 may be planning on getting the little fella whilst on the North Island invasion. Cheers Aslan

I could grab him from Joe and show him Nelson and hand him off to you then...

**Aslan** · 14th May 2009, 19:38

Fran - sounds like a plan - subject to XF650 aka Struan chiming in - I'll fit in with whatever is agreed - he could ride with us to Ashvegas and then climb aboard those Christchurch based Katooms - just to share the experience around - be good to catch up with you again - cheers Aslan

I can bring Pooey south to Ashburton from Reefton via the West Coast. But he will have to play "trailer bitch" - it's a work trip for me so I'm trailering the DT to the ride via Marlbourough / Nelson.
So yes, if you Nelson riders can entertain Pooey till Aslan picks him up, then it might save him some embarressment.
