Right we are sticking with the origanal plan for the ride through to Culverden to Waiau to Kaikoura.Fuel could be a problem for some on the other route.But time would be major factor for others.
So we stick with origanal plan.
VTRRR i will text you on meet point unless you come down further.
Update tomorrow.cheers.

am courious as to what time you might expect to be back in Christchurch.
Something worth concidering is....
Are the out of town local petrol stops going to be open in the morning, or even at all ?
This could pose problems for some
Just a concideration for those with small tanks as the round trip is 300+k's

**laRIKin** · 5th February 2008, 18:27

I think it will be fine most of the bigger petrol stations never close now days.

All garages will be open for fuel.
