Right guys I am going to make some sort of attempt to collate all the goings ons with yet another epic New Year plan.

So the plan for who ever is keen is

What

Go down to Golden bay for some mighty good fun.  There will be climbing, lots of swimming, sitting on the beach, cruising around the area checking out all the fun and cool things there are in golden bay, there may be some tramping.  But most importantly there will be a whole lot of socialising drinking and just general good fun. 

Where are we staying

I have been asking around and checking out the options and as mentioned in the previous posts some people are going down to stay on Jess’s property over Christmas.  However I have been informed that Jess’s property can’t really sustain many people and there will be issues with car parking and facilities such as fresh water and amenities.

So the plan is that from the 26^th / 27^th December we will be staying at the Hang Dog climbers camp just on the Nelson side of Takaka.  Hang Dog is a very cool place it is very close to the climbing the river for some good swimming and everything else.  They have bikes that you can borrow to shoot into town or up the road.  It is good to have everyone staying in the same place as it gives everyone options for the day weather they choose to go climbing swimming to the beach or adventuring around the place.  Hang Dog cost $5 a night and is well worth it for it’s locality flushing toilets and other amenities.

Who

Ferry’s are filling up quickly there is limited room for foot passengers but still a bit of room for cars.  What you can actually do is book a car on with just yourself then later on go online and just magically put some more people in your car.  So if you are thinking about coming either get yourself a place in someone’s car or book yourself (and possibly a car) onto a ferry.  Or fly.  Apparently air Takaka will get you there for a reasonable price

From what I can gauge so far this is who’s going and what is happening

This group is going down after Christmas and staying at Paynes
