Hey midwinter people, for those coming on the very cool week long trip to Kahurangi here's some important info!
Leaving this Friday 29 June, 6pm Ferry from the Interislander Ferry Terminal. Please be at the ferry terminal by 5.30pm at the latest, there is a free shuttle bus from the railway station leaving at 5.25pm.
We will catch a bus to St Arnaud Friday night and stay at the scout house there (where you can leave stuff not taking on the tramp). Then you will get dropped off at your respective road ends on saturday morning.
Due out from the tramp on afternoon of the following Saturday and will stay again at St Arnaud, before catching the 1.15pm Ferry on Sunday 8th July from Picton (arrives Wellington approximately 4.15pm).
You must have paid the full amount of $200 before getting on the ferry, so suggest you contact me urgently if this will not be possible. We will try to have someone with the cashbox there on Friday but would be best to do it tonight at the meeting.
Club gear (axes, crampons, tents, cookers, billies, etc) will be dropped off and put on the ferry separately, and we'll sort it out in St Arnaud.
The emergency contact person for the trip is:
Richard Davies
04 976 6670
027 4 555 293
He will know all the details of the trip, so make sure you pass this on to your family/flatmates (so they don't all call the police if anything happens). Also could you provide me with a contact name and number that we can notify in the case of an accident or delay.
For any other details about food, gear or routes contact your trip leader (see my forum post) or come along to the meeting tonight to discuss!
Cheers, should be a great trip!
Kieran
