Dunedin/Otago meet up and cruise Sunday 12 December 2021

[kiwi808]

We have a Webber Baby Q that is perfect for road trip sausage fests

TotP for extra awesome

I like the idea of meeting in Dunners then cruising up through the pig route to Randurly.

we could then have a sausage fest sizzle somewhere there then Dunners crew could head through middlemarch for the round trip.

We will have the work wagon as a support vehicle.

@vivaspeed do you want to make an executive decision on a date and route? Some good ideas in all of this. 

[Toddy415]

@kiwi808 is checking in on his car today so might know more later

[vivaspeed]

Yes I was thinking I should lock in something... took my car for a 150km run on the weekend and nothing British happened so I'm good for this.

Weekend of 20/21 Nov or first weekend in Dec?

[nzstato]

1st wkend dec if we can do the sun?

[vivaspeed]

Okay so let's make a plan here.

First weekend in December (Sunday 5th December) might be the go.  I've got commitments on the weekends either side.

Not sure what kind of distances people want to cover, but I had thought about the route below - meet Dunedin say 10am, head off through Middlemarch towards Ranfurly and/or Naseby (cool little town I visited for the first time today) for a bite to eat - BBQ or pie or pub lunch or whatever then back out to Palmerston.  Central Otago people can head off home from Ranfurly if they wanted.

The other option might be to go in reverse direction and head up through Warrington, Karitane, etc but trying to avoid too much back tracking depending on where people are travelling from.

was mentioning the the run through the middle with my son, but we normally have a tandem trailer on the back. if it works, we could leave trailer somewhere and tag along

No no no, bring the trailer

[nzstato]

If we're heading out that way do we want to meet at Peter Johnstone Park at 10am in Mosgiel?  There is a big asphalt park there to meet up. 
 

Pretty limited without backtracking to Ranfurly on a halfway spot but there is a rest area just as you cross the Shag River at -45.19724, 170.42537

[vivaspeed]

Right so I’ve now got to be up north on the 5th due to family commitments so you guys can carry on without me, or we push it out to Sunday 12th instead?

[nzstato]

I'm good with the 12th.  Roll call of whos planning to attend?

[Lord Gruntfuttock]

Brought the car to work today too. Looks teeny next to all the horrible SUV things in the carpark.
