Learner Ride to Cape Reinga (20 November)

[Phreak]

SOLD! Now, organising time off work... Lol! Oh yeah, that's right, I work for myself, I can take time off whenever I want!

Okay, now for the harder part, getting approval from the missus...!

Hmmm nah, she won't mind (I hope) BOOK ME IN!

the managers have come up with an all inclusive price of $150 per person for the weekend.

Does that change if you're bringing your own room (tent) ?

The price is awesome, since it includes food nom nom. Work tried to say that we can't have any time off during Nov, Dec Jan... yeah right. I'm already working close to 7 days a week now. Need time off.

Yes it does, there is a studio room available (all to yourselves if you want to claim it LOL) It has been worked out so that everyone that attends can subsidise each other so we can all enjoy a cool weekend away.

I know! This place is really lovely. The hosts are fantastic, though Graeme will not let me live down my falling up stairs incident last night

As far as work goes...

Tell them to get stuffed

No physical damage to speak of, but I am not sure I will ever live down the fact I fell up the stairs

Sounds good. No worries re the price at all, just curious.

Just had word to the other half. The studio room sounds good, could you please put us down for it.

Exactly. I know from personal experience what comes from working too hard. It's not worth it.

This place is wonderful!

Was woken up this morning so I could watch a big pod of dolphins playing in the bay.

We have done a reccy of the entire place and counted beds etc and the managers have come up with an all inclusive price of $150 per person for the weekend. This includes 2 cooked breakfasts, a BBQ Friday night and a hangi Saturday night.

Irene has been menu planning this afternoon and has come up with;

BBQ - steak, sausages coleslaw, salads (3) spuds and garlic bread.

Hangi - Pork, mutton, chicken and pigs feet Spuds, pumpkin, kumera, cabage.

Breakfasts - Bacon, sausages, eggs, toast and choice of spag or baked beans. You can have cereal as well if you can fit it in

Although she reserves the right to make adjustments to it

Maha will give a run down of bed configurations, but there are enough beds here for everyone who wants one.

Just one note of warning for anyone on crutches on the weekend. Do not consume a skin full of wine and attempt to get up a flight of stairs You will crash and burn DAMHIK

Hi guys thanks for organising the ride, great job. Just to clarify the costs, is it going to be $300 for two people one tent. Happy riding.

Just a quick announcement, Mom & Maha may be AWOL for a while. As they lay supine watching the sun set over the beach last night, waiting for the grapes to be peeled, they told me that they would be staying until the Crayfish & Scallops were finished. That may take until November, their was quite a lot...
