Sooo.... getting in before there are 368 postings of drivel in this thread and in a vain attempt to return it to being something about the rally...

I have never been to this one before either. I assume most tent and the sheep 'tanas and the lanolin are mainly in the shearing shed. And is the shearing shed used like an indoor venue for the band, bar, food and other forms of raucousness? How many usually turn up? So nice of the Hog to invite the hogless. Seeing as I missed the Hare this year (work made me go to Rarotonga !!) this one is looking like a goer.

Ya need some flash tent-pegs as it's a pretty rocky sort of site - and it has a lot of sloping ground but still o.k. if you scout around.

Shearing shed is used for the food'n'booze selling plus another part is used for the band and dancing.

Sheep grating makes having a slash easy for those that do it standing up, for the rest there are Port-A-Loos.

Nearest gas station, pub and dairy are about 3km away in Middlemarch.

Ride from Outram to Middlemarch is a good fun one with a variety of sweeping bends on sometimes steep hills with amazing scenery and a pub 1/2 way, the Clarkes Junction Pub (which I always come across unexpectedly).
