On the calendar we have a trip down for climbing in Payne’s Ford and although Payne’s ford is great it is suspiciously in the south island and with quite a few of us just having come back there may be a lack of keenness for more ferry tax.  Tom may be down that way and may have some plans though… Tom?

So I am organising a trip for the long weekend and it will aim to do some things but the main objective will be finding summer and sun.  So we will be heading north on lateish on Friday night to avoid traffic and some of have something to do till 7:30 ish and we will look at heading up to the central north island for some climbing.  Some places I am thinking of going are Whakapapa gorge, Mangatapopo and Whanganui bay.  We may also think about a trip to the beach somewhere along the way.  It depends on the numbers and who is interested but this could be run a little bit like a climbing road trip or we may just base ourselves somewhere and chill out.  I am also open to a road trip up somewhere like east cape to find out where the sun comes from. 

Anyway let me know if you are keen and what you are keen for and we will assemble some plans
