@jakewire we can have a chat in a couple of weeks time. I’ve got 500,300,200,150,100mm gongs and can probably get them down there easy enough.
I have bought a vacuum enlarger so depending on whether it works or not I may have a wee wave myself next year.Quote:

The long range sight on my 303 says 2800yds, so 2000 metres should be well within range.
When will the date be known? will it be the same or different.
Haka Valley, about 10k from Kurow.Quote:

At the request of the landowner, (due to lambing). it looks like early November will be the date. A few guys are going to visit the station next weekend to find the best/safest spot for the shoot. 2k should not be a problem. I will keep you informed after we have visited the station as to what weekend it will be.
Thanks for all the offers of support
Good stuff Harry. We appreciate it.Quote:

Hi guys

Location is aprox 15 min from Kurow. Access should be easy for most 2wd cars. It has been suggested that we us the Kurow holiday park as a base to stay for the weekend. Tent sites and cabins are available ( Jakewire to enquire)
The date we have decided on will be the weekend Fri 9th to Sun 11th November 2018, hope that suits most of you guys.
Anybody with a few spare gongs that we can use for the weekend please let me know.
Excellent Harryg. That weekend is free by my personal decree.

we have penciled in the lodge and depending on response from you guys will confirm later in the month, she [Dianne] was happy with that arrangement.
Put me down as attending.
Put me down please. Should have my win mag up and running properly in the next few months. I'll be likely going Queenstown and up through twizel(rude not to have a fish). As I said earlier I'm happy to pick people up along the way or drop people at the event and go pick guys up from Christchurch.
How much can we fit in the Triton is really the question?
How can you plan that far ahead with your busy schedule?Quote:

It’s the South Island. Gotta be there. I never met Toby, but followed his journey in awe and laughter. The opportunity to remember him will be an honour to share.
The fact it’s my wife’s birthday the day following is a detail I need to attend to I admit......
Just looking at a map and it occurs to me to ask whether it would make more sense to fly in to Dunedin as it seems closer. What's the go?
