Duke Blackwood 417 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I’ll have to fix the Pole-Smoker, it barely survived Te Urewera undertaking. And make some concessions for essentials when travelling without a support vehicle: Beef Jerky A cigar BYC kit Im in. And probably @anglia4 And probably @Itchybear And probably @dadblackwood 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HighLUX 33,096 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 And if we get enough keen riders then we could look at a support vehicle perhaps. Would you be interested @Thphantum? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HighLUX 33,096 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Sounds good thanks Mark! Lee went for a bit of a reccy down at Matata today and after a bit of a chat to the camps down there, we have decided that although id said Murphys Motorcamp it isnt the most ideal spot for the overnight stay and apologize if anyone has already booked there but we are going to use the DOC camp right in Matata itself. https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/bay-of-plenty/places/matata-area/matata-campsite/ The camp caretaker is happy to rope off a whole corner of the camp for us to have to ourselves and its only a couple of mins walk to food/booze etc Its only $8 for the night pay when you get there spec and hot showers/proper toilets but no cabins so its gunna be camping/sleep on the groun, I believe there are a couple of options for indoor sleeping within Matata but if you want that its upto yourself to sort that. It looks like a lush spot to stay Corner of the camp for us: We are putting together an entry form which should be out this weekend to get a gauge of interest 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Truenotch 9,203 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Lush. Camping will be sweet if we have support vehicle space for tents etc. I'll probably roll a bivi bag and have a spare if anyone wants to borrow it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
