Some people might be put off with Duck shooting starting in may

[TimShadboltfan27]

hmmm true. does this affect anyone here? i would say late may might be pushing it with the weather. 

[igor]

I don't shoot so won't bother me.

I do my hunting and gathering at New World so I'm all good. Wasn't it around duck murdering season last year we went to Night Caps?

[TimShadboltfan27]

yeah thinking of doing the same dates, first weekend of may. was a nice crisp morning and we had a dece turnout 

[igor]

What are your thoughts regarding an overnighter somewhere? I still have two boxes of dobros left over from Nats.

[TimShadboltfan27]

im not fussed tbh. the proposed route is doable within a day... unless Joe can put us up? that would be rad 

[Toddy415]

I probs wont do an over nighter but definately keen for a meet

Lost Gypsy gallery at Papatowai might be worth a look.

turn off at Tokanui and head to Curio Bay via Haldane ? , saves back-tracking

Blue Cod Blues in Waikawa is mint feed

cathedral caves is cool if the tides are right.Tautuku beach is kinda cool, but u get a good view from Florence Hill lookout

for a 20km detour on average roads, not much to see in Tahakopa. unless i am there, even still, nuthing to see !!

Purakanui and Matai falls are a nice detour on way to Owaka

Catlins brewery at Kaka Point could be a goer, @igor , knows the owner

[igor]

Norman at Catlins Brewery is a GC. Might be able to work something out if I see him before hand. Be warned, drunkenness is likely to ensue.

[TimShadboltfan27]

thatd be lush
