    My list of those wanting to attend is:

    Me+1
    Eddie
    WThumper
    marks
    NightFalcon+1
    Bart
    .chris
    clint640
    Tugboat
    Underground
    MXNut
    BMWRSNUT
    Hugo
    GPSMAN
    Pampa

    So as you can we we're slightly over capacity at the moment, but there's a couple who seem to be tentative. I'll see how we go for barrack space and access & if we strike any issues with this number.

    Obviously if we have to reduce numbers then I'll have to be the bad guy and say sorry to a couple of hopefuls - it will probably be those less well known to the forum...my gut tells me we should be ok with a couple over the cap tho...
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    Accommodation and food

    OK, I have accommodation booked in camp. I haven't got a confirmed price yet but last time it was less than $10 per head (from memory) with all linen supplied and individual rooms (possibility of dorms this time, unsure) and high pressure steenkin hot showers. each will need to reimburse me up in Waiouru as I will be invoiced and pay upfront on our behalf.

    Will everyone require accommodation? Let me know if you don't otherwise I'll assume you do.

    Food is also sorted. Basically we buy meal tickets at $9.80 dinner and $8.65 Breakkie / Lunch. This is for a buffet / hot press that you go through and normally has a full compliment of vege's a several meat choices (to select one from...thy're funny like that...).

    So in my mind, this is all pretty easy and awesome value for money rather than buying crappy pizzas & pies up the road.

    All riders listed so far are confirmed.

    But that's really our cap...so if you have to pull out then please let me know so someone else can come along.

    10 & 11 Dec.

    Added Three points to look up on Google Earth. We will go to all three of these points. The one under the mountain is the one I'm most looking forward to. Pretty much offroad all the way from Waiouru...

    Those keen but not on the list, post up and it will form the reserve list. I'll PM to check availability if anyone drops out.
