TimShadboltfan27 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hey team, thought that a good ol' meet up and cruise to a country pub would surely get the presence of old school going in the heart of the south!After a few recommendations, we will be cruising to Chatto Creek Tavern, halfway between Omakau and Alexandra. good old fashioned country tavern with cold beers on tap and good food in the kitchen. Alex will be a good meet up point for people coming from Southland and across from Dunedin, so we will meet at the old bridge from 12:30 and convoy to Chatto Creek from there at 1:00pm. park up spot on Rivers Street below: Will definitely be a good time, bring an old(ish) car, and a good sharn for a grouse Central Otago afternoon. if some are willing we could cruise further along on the rail trail and back in to alex. Or if any locals care to share some good roads I'm all ears. Open for suggestions in this thread, if the time's an issue or anything like that. if you're keen to tag along express interest below so i can confirm numbers for the lovely lady at the Tavern. Hopefully we can make this a monthly thing! Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toddy415 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If people want to convoy up to alex we could meet at my place in Mataura at say 9:30-10 gives us a bit of time to get to alex. Or meet along the road somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeb Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 That's one place I'd never have expected an o/s meet to be at! Getting real close to my home town. Unfortunately I'm leaving for the North Island for work on this very day so won't be able to make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimShadboltfan27 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Keen to visit that bridge! Would make for good photos. There's also another lush suspension bridge in alex over the same river. Pedestrian stz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Shakey bridge in Alex is cool. We went into the middle and got the mean bounce on. They make O.K wines too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
