Alright, so the general preference seems to be Saturday (tomorrow). So shall it be. I'd suggest to meet 8:30am on Hunter carpark. We will be 3-5 people which, in turn, means the car is full, and that, in turn, is cool in terms of cost splitting, minimised carbon dioxide footprint, maximised cosiness, fun, and as I mentionioned earlier blah blah and so on. Still don't know precisely where we are going to go but the forecast is not perfect enough for a Mt. Matthews mission. Might rather do some sort of an expedition around Otaki Forks (N-W of Welly). Nevertheless it's never wrong to have a functioning torch handy, as well as waterproof jacket, enough food, sturdy boots and stuff. I'll have map, compass and a basic first aid kit - self evident that I'm not too keen to use the latter one.
Take care and CU tomorrow.
