    Absolutely RODSTA we will not even see one another except for in the camp. Get on Google Earth and have a look to the west of Minginui beyond Arohaki Lagoon. We will be in that area.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    With a bit of planning that shouldn't be necessary but it is a good back up plan.

    Gibo it is about an hour and twenty past Rotorua down through Murupara over the hill toward Te Whaiti and turn right to Minginui. We could drive out and meet you at the Mangamate Falls DoC camp at Minginui and lead you in from there.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

    Ok sounds good. I had a look and it says its 2:05 hours from me so be more like 1:45 hours.

    I will book it in with the lady tonight.....I have some leverage as she has been out fishing all day today and did an all nighter out with the girls Saturday! I've got this!!!!

    So incase I do pull this off, I think I'm best to just leave after work Friday and be there about 7.

    I have a small 1 man tent, will that be the business or whats the camp set up? Could zip our sleeping bags together Rushy?
