Were do i camp you ask?Weeeeeeell now i camp in my nice warm bed cos i only live 5 mins up the road and though i enjoyed the rally when i had to travel to it i dont camp there anymore for two reasons.
1/I'm a soft bugger these days.
2/I only have my race bike and dont think plod would be impressed seeing that pootling down the road although i dont see the difference between that and the scores of chook chasers on the road unredgistered but dont realy want to test my luck.

Where abouts are you guys meeting?? I'll be coming through there thursday night/friday.

Havent made a plan to meet. I'm going down Friday on a vintage BMW with a side car, what happens is the fast bikes motor off, get cold and pull over, the "toe warmer" is actually not too bad to ride in the cold so I find that the average speed throughout the day is about the same as everybody else.

I camp on the high ground over looking the lake at the back of the camping ground. When you get to the site and look for the high ground you will find us there. The old bike gets used as a taxi because in a pinch you can fit 4 people in or take 2 and a load of fire wood.

sounds good to me
I'm having trouble finding my passport, will I need it to get on the ferry ? Or just to go through Otago ??

[cold comfort]

You will need a temporary visa- i could sell you one for a modest sum though.

I have cleared it with The Republic of Christchurch secret forces, however its probably not wise to wear your "City of Sales" Tee shirt as some of the "Boys" are not good at following orders and have been known for the occasional northern island import disappear between Picton and Otago.

It's Goverment policy that even Police display the Blue and Gold on their cars ...

So sew a bit of GOLD onto the shirt ... and we may allow it ...

Temporary visas may be purchased in any Otago Speights bar ....
