That is my plan.

I take it we are talking the Caves Hut?

Have a great time. Took my kids, aged 3 and 5 in there, same time of year about 9 years ago. They had a great time, except when I took my youngest to the long drop in the middle of the night. She said "I'm not having a good time!"

@223nut, dog permits available from renwick@doc.govt.nz
They require your name, address and phone number, Dogs name, gender, breed, colour and rego number for your dog and also the name of the council which your dog is registered with.
Also small game permit is probably an idea, from same office I think. I am emailing them now regarding this. To see if .17hmr are ok as some places only allow .22, .22hornet and shotgun on small game permit. @Shearer yes Caves hut, next to the airstrip

There is a heap of firewood on the skid site by the top intake,just need a chainsaw.The eels under the wharf at St-Arnaud are worth a visit for something to fill in the day for the kids,take some rabbit guts.

Cheers. Just need to register dogs.... Changed councils and saving $150 for the year

I was quietly hoping to escape away and join in, but going to be in Chch from Sat night til Tues. The lads been selected to play in the International Football Tournament, so should really be there. Next time I'll be in.....so long as you accept members south of the Rakaia.
Much easier logistics to stay in the same island

Nah, you can arrange the next one and invite us.
Well done to your boy.

Yep, not going to make the Toby shoot so better meet some of you dodgy buggers somehow. We just need a friendly farmer down in the south island for somewhere to get a south island shoot / knees up / get together going on.

How far can we shoot at leathem? If I can get the permit for 17HMR would be keen to take it out past 200m and see what hapoens

@223 nut there is an airstrip next to the hut,
I have asked for a permit for .17HMR also. but my scope will likely let me down

41°48'22.04"S 173°11'24.83"E gets you near the hut. Airstrip appears to be 400 metres +/- on google earth.

Might be out of the 17HMR range unless I hand it to @Dundee skilled hands with a rimfire. Might throw all the toys in... See what happens earlier in the week, hoping to put something n the freezer ut depends how long the house guests are here for..
