duh silly me I was looking at the wrong flamin calendar yup I will be in for those dates, will put in a leave form for the saturday when I get back to work. Will have to let his grandmother know to have him back from feilding before then I have a spare summer weight sleeping bag for him to use.

Thats the only problem

I would say once your mum and stepfather are reassured that everything will be ok I can't see why they would not let you go as this would be a really good confidence builder for you and also gets you away from the house and out into nature plus it will help keep your fitness up for soccer. Next time you come up I will have to try and organise a trip to Taupo for a sika hunt so you can hear what they sound like when you spook them.

that would be nice but you know mum, she's stubborn

Yeah I know she can be bloody stubborn mate I was married to her long enough and she used to try and keep me pinned under her thumb too. You never know mate if she can see that you are passionate about being out in the bush which is somewhere she can not go due to her physical limitations and that people are willing to teach you how to be safe and how to put food on the table she may see it in a different light, I (and members here) would rather encourage you to enjoy the outdoors than discourage it. If you get her to meet members from here then she may ease up failing that hit plan B and tell her you want to come up here that may change her tune
