Nah I'll be all right Rushy. How's the food gonna work out? just bring whatever we want for ourselves or is there gonna be like a meal type thing where we bring certain things each?

Buggered if I know. I am relaxed either way but will leave logistical planning to someone else. I could provide venison in the form of steaks and sausages (and potentially salamis) if we wanted to do the communal thingQuote:

My work lunches consist of a single little can of tuna or chicken (that chopchop stuff). I add crackers if Im feeling outrageous.
Im easy too. Finer details that Phill will sort for us no doubt!:thumbsup:Quote:

Just saw its $5 a night. Where do we pay that too?
You can pay at the DOC office in Murupara. If the numbers of people coming are high, I can email the DOC office and get our tickets ahead of time to ensure that we all have a bed. Will see how many people are coming first, it may not be necessary.Quote:

Thats where it is mate! I was a bit out befive!
I can't see the hut. Do we walk along the river to come in?
Yip thats the spot. 8 km walk up river.
Oh yeah, seems nice and gentle I should be all right.
Ignore the attachment, here's a map for those who are interested

Sorted Ill get the time off work and hopefully scab a ride down with Dead is better.
Looks awesome fellas, keen as!
Have we set a date as a cut off for definite confirmations?
Just with the sprog due 4 weeks before i need to do some planning and earn some brownie points!
Good luck Spudattack!!! Mine is now 6 weeks old. Getting away it possible but certainly plenty of points needed!Quote:

Bring the baby with you. Problem solved. Toby will look after it.

Mentioned the cut off if we gonna do the communal meals thing as who is bringing what would have to be allocated, will just play it by beer then!
Thats not very sporting of you Tobes! Was hoping you could teach him/her how to load some black powder shotgun shells!:D
Now that he would probably doQuote:

I think you need to get your mindset right for the role of camp bitch Toby. You need to keep the tea hot, the beer cold, and when the river goes up 6 feet, washes the beer away and the "real men" wet their pants it's your job to sort them out, give'em that cup o tea and tell them to harden up.
It also means you will probably shoot something just round the corner from camp while everyone else is 3hrs away :D
I'm going hunting now, Rushy do you walk slow I'll go with you :D
Toby, it would be my pleasure. It means getting out of the fart sack early on a frosty morning though. Young Phillip had trouble keeping up with me what with carrying his pack and mine as well as having to dive of back to get the defibillator.Quote:

I would be keen to join in on this too! Will have to confirm though.
All ready got the time off work, sorted.
Me too. Leave approved by both bosses (the one that pays me and the one that spends what I get paid).Quote:
