cough cough Any takers? I don't know what I can offer to sweeten a raw deal

What is that front panel made of?

This can only be a cry for help

Also we have 30 people keen, which is cool & nice Though still no car/trailer at this point @keltik @stillway ?

I should probably update, that although the Motu Rd has been declared open, I kinda CBF thinking about an alternate route right now. So we're sticking with plan A for this year, perhaps next year (or something) we look at something incorporating the Motu Rd again. So yeah lock in your accommodation etc if you haven't already please 2 months to go

I think I have a bed in Waikaremoana available

There's been a couple more I haven't updated, but yeah, fuck yeah, good number, good people.

Yeah I think so, we'll be fine, just have to get away at a reasonable time and not muck around

Fuck it reckons 7hrs for day 2, how badly have I fucked this up?

Day 3 Day 4 So approx 950km potentially.

GMAPS screenshots Day 1 Day 2

Spamming/fizzing aside. I've updated the first post with a little more info thats probably helpful. With the Motu Road currently being closed, and no further updates likely given before September. If all signs point to YES for the Motu Road being open by December, we have the option of revising Day 1 and 2 (Thursday/Friday) to include it. It would have to be fairly certain that it would be open. Day 1 - Thurs 3rd would be a low stakes loop around the Whakatane region. Night 1 accommodation changed to Whakatane accordingly. Day 2 - Fri 4th would be up and over the Motu Road, and into Gisborne as planned. This may or may not be an option, and is open to input from the masses.

Yeah as far as I know the Tiniroto Tavern is just a house now. Happy to be proven wrong. We'll be covering some ground on day two and hopefully having lunch in Te Karaka
