It does mean with my new double trailer I’ll be able to bring both Jet Ski’s to our Catlins camping adventure. But it also means I’ll miss motorcycles this weekend. when is this Catlins adventure you speak of ? is a date been sorted , or still waiting for some useless cunt from Timaru to clear a paddock and get facilities set up ?

kiwi808 11,608 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 No date set and we’re possibly looking at a camp ground as we are unsure of numbers. Might be easier to organise too if it’s just at a camp ground too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimShadboltfan27 4,663 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 looking at sometime in March. Probs be easier to just camp/cabin spec it, unless you give us a better offer @smokin'joe ?? Apparently we have a jetski to play with, which i assume will be carted with the b1600 @kiwi808...

smokin'joe 2,279 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 would depend on numbers. can probably sleep 4-5 in the house at the moment but havn't set bunkroom up yet. no fucken water down there as it hasn't rained properly for 2-3 months, only had 150-200 litres left in tank when i came back last tuesday.

kiwi808 11,608 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 I reckon stay at a camp ground. Also Toyota Fest is on at Highlands on the 24/25th March so will need to be a different weekend to that. (As I have people here for TF). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimShadboltfan27 4,663 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 roger (forgot about that). will do some recon. i think Curio Bay be a pretty good spot, or are there any other suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi808 11,608 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 A boat ramp or beach access. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crazytim 95 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hi! I'm relocating down to Lawrence as part of the conspiracy by Aucklanders to take over the South Island. Except there is no conspiracy just sick of etcetcetcetcetc Quick question... do I know anyone down that way? Have been on OS for heaps long but been inactive since fb took all my online time :/ Hope to get out on some mishes with some fellow mad bastards! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimShadboltfan27 4,663 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 gday maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate there's a few cats floating about the place. we have regular meets in Central Otago (the best compromise for people in Queenstown, Invers, Dunedin etc) so thats only an hour and a bit drive from Lawrence. We're planning on getting a meet going in the Catlins during March, then there's also toyotafest at Highlands. There will also be another meet up before winter kicks in, as most of us go into hibernation/up the hill. hope you can make it along! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi808 11,608 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 But the whole town does get free wifi. And it hosts a Car Show every year. Has a fascinating gold mining history and some cool old buildings. It’s no Wanaka/Queenstown though... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Gruntfuttock 23,176 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Didn't some Lions escape from a circus/zoo once and eat a kid in Lawrence? Recall seeing them stuffed in Dunedin museum or somewhere... [edit] Wiki indicates I may have over-egged the story a little... "In 1978, two lions named Sultan and Sonia escaped from a circus in Lawrence. The circus' tranquiliser guns had accidentally been left behind in another town so they could not be shot with tranqiliser darts. They were eventually shot by police but not before one of them had scratched a seven-year-old boy across the face." [edit # 2] So there is now a 47 yr old bloke somewhere with a facial scar caused by a lion having a go. Bet no-one believes him when he tells his yarn down the pub... 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
igor 12,595 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Pretty sure the Lawrence lions are still in the Otago Museum. Lawrence is okay, it just gets really cold in the winter time there, even by Otago standards. If @crazytim is a real Aucklander he might take a while to acclimatize. When you coming down mate? Always keen to meet other members irl. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kyteler 59,663 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Lawrence is an interesting choice. Any particular reason? Not saying it's a bad thing at all, just strange unless there was a specific lure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
