felixx Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I was thinking, it is summer, Why don't we go away one fri/ sat night to somewhere close to CHCH I was thinking Glen Tunnel or Gore Bay or even Spencer Park. Just a low key night or 2. Give our wahines a rest, let the kids play and we can chillax I do something similar with some other mates 2-3 times a year and it works well I was thinking mid to late jan. We could meet up after work and convoy there 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixx Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 So options I was thinking of are a) Glentunnell, has a river with a swimming hole beside it Spencer Park, real close to town, has great facilities c) Gore Bay has a beach with fishing and no cell reception I will add a poll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Fuck it starting a poll is beyond me, So pick a location and are you able to lend some gear to help another dad out? I have a 2 man tent, 1 sleeping bag, a gas lantern and a stretcher I can lend a dad. Also a foam bed roll My preference is for gore bay (fishing) or spencer park (close to town) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Spencer park is easy. Close to town. Kids go to bed, dads all get maggot as. Fucking win.............. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Sounds like school camp. Children to bed early, parents on the piss till all hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin'joe Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 jeez Glenn, you didnt tell me there was no cell reception in Gore Bay................. makes it even more appealing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin'joe Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Oh if you dont have have kids you are still welcome, but be aware there will be kids LOL READ AS: if you ain't got kids, there must be a designated adult in the car and passengers must wear nappies for the weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 This does kind of sound appealing.. my little girl loves cars.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Fuck Spencer park tho.. make it at least a small mission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 I was thinking spencer because it is close, I would hope it is a first for a couple of folks so if the wheels fall off it is close to home for 'emergency missions' It is only the start of summer, I try and take my kids away once a month without mummy coming and happy to make adventures bigger as the group experience grows. Ross OBD has been on one my other mates do with their kids and has seen how cool this can be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.p.n.s Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Sounds good to me pretty sure my oldest will be keen as .......my youngest whom I lovingly refer to as "Handbag"....loves doing things with dresses and well.......handbags. Mine are 5 and 6 1/2 and both if the girl variety And I'm all for the spending time away from technology. Hell of an idea Glenn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'd need to check my calendar. I'm not too sure what I've got going on or when. This idea really could be a winner. A trip away with the boys where the Mrs is actually stoked about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
