Ooooh have you got a laavu and stove there too?! I'm an expert at crashing tipis, I'm sure yours won't be as easy as the hippies to gatecrash.... or Jays Beaut picture, btw!

 

[MartinK9]

Yep, lavvu, stove and wood loaded.

Robert the farmer is concerned about rutting up the field with vehicle movements. so to avoid this altogether can everyone unload at the track entrance to the wood, see map if your unsure on OP, and not at cp2 where we would normally offload, then return your vehicle to cp1 (toilet block) thank you.

please keep the toilet doors closed so the heaters can keep the frost from the pipes. if the ground water feed freezes, use the courtyard toilet, this has a heat light so dont turn it off!

thank you

Thanks for a great meet Steve, sorry I was not best of company on Saturday night but things as known had been bad that day. (got up there late )

It was good to get some wood-time and see and meet everyone sorry I missed a few. but it was great to be back.
