    I cant spell but we will be in the Ureweras, in the Whiranki Forest. The word Forest is a dead giveaway..... If we see each other in the bush someone is doing something wrong. And I for one would prefer not to see Mucko's ugly mug !

    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

I would have thought that you would cut across country through Mangakino and Tokoroa.
    I think he was heading these ways to pick me up ... Not sure unless he's got other business over here ?
    I've booked the Friday off work, But will play by ear for now. Just wondering are you able to drive a normal car up to the campsite Rushy or is it 4wd material only ?
    Thanks.

    If you like your car I wouldn't drive it up there but there is a place to park up not far from the end.

    No mate you will get in on standard street tyres it is just the height above ground that is really needed. I have never ever had a grip problem going in but have had to chainsaw my way in a few times over the years as there is often a fair bit of dead fall after a heavy snow. Scouser was just in there a few weeks ago so I imagine the way in is clear.

    Rushyy if there are too many wagons going then some can be left at the jail house for a small fee. Especialy the non 4x4. I have done it before.

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