Hi all,

Seems like I wont be doing this as certain people I wanted to take along have pulled out, also no work leave. My apologies to anyone disappointed.

John.

On this, any chance that a van or something could be used, as driving down would prove the most pratical way of getting down. A discount ferry ticket may be possible of it.

Hello,

I will be spending my summer in Golden Bay, so I mad south Island mission for a few weeks sounds awsome! I am very keen. Both Stewart Island and Mt. Sealy sound like fantastic fun! By the end of November or so I should be able to tell you guys what I will actualy be able to commit too.

Yes, they go very quickly and you have to know how many tickets you want before you confirm the dates. I dont think we will get enough confirmed full names to organise anything good before they sell out - usually within 10min of being posted for sale. Just from buying $4 tickets to taupo and christchurch this morning, I think they will be posted for sale at 12.45 - so check then.

According to grab a seat there are going to be welly - invercargil flights going on this avo. Maybe we should keep an eye on it and if the times work we can get together and do it?

Yeah cheap flights but from there to Bluff is a pain, Intercity bus costs $30(cheapest, early booking)-$70 to invercargill and takes from 8am through to 5.30pm (a whole day). Cost of flying to stewart Island to invercargill return $165. Ideally a van or something would suit best - I may be able to arrange a cheaper car ferry pass.

Ditto here I'm dead set keen on some Stewart Island action, and can't wait to take on it's infamous mud. Maybe even a side trip to the Catlins as well would be well worth the journey.

yeah, would be cool to have a semi club trip to Mt Sealy (in the mt cook national park)

its no harder than girdlestone i think, and in a awsome location! perhaps even play round on a glacier or two...

Hopefully I'll get a month or so off work round january/february to cruise round the south island - so would be very keen to check out stewart island, maybe off the beaten (and muddy) track a bit! The tin range is supposed to be quite good if maybe somewhat rugged tramping. Also would be keen for other stuff in the south of the south island (Aspiring, Cook, Fiordland areas - tramping, climbing, lying on beaches...)

hey guys,

Yeah I'd be super keen too, been meaning to get down there for awhile, no idea where I'll be there or what I'll be doing but would be keen to tag along if possible (and if I'm not too broke!)

Kate :)
