Going from last year It'll be a cruisey ride as the lead is an HP car as far as the start of gravel. A lunch stop at Whanga where we get to eat BBQ food for free or pub if preferred (leftovers from republic day sic), before heading to the Stratford plateau (some law enforcement evident on the way). Prizegiving is at the Stratford TET stadium with food & drinks available. Last year most got a prize of some sort.

Is it possible to register on the day. I dont have a cheque or credit card, and would prefer to see if I can get there first.
