Hey everyone,

Me and Jess were scheming on Tuesday about doing a Ruahines trip this weekend - at this stage the weather looks like it will be decidedly average to say the least, so it may (if it happens at all) be a below-bushline, hanging-out-in-huts-with-a-bit-of-walking-in-between type weekend... or some leatherwood bashing if we get carried away!

One idea (mainly cause I haven't been there before) is to go into Tamaki West Rd in from Dannevirke, up to A-Frame hut on Friday night (700m climb), then potter down Takapari road/track to either Stanfield or Cattle Creek hut for Saturday night and then back out to the car on Sunday.

Let me know if you're keen - email patonomatic@gmail.com

Provided I can get my hands on an AM radio and a few batteries you can count me in cos

 a)  I need to listen to the Black Caps thumping Pakistan

 b)  I need to listen to the Frogs thumping the all blacks cos I'm sick of rugby and it will be cool to see the all blacks beaten

 either that or a video player and a tape... 

Hey guys, there is a severe weather warning in place with 120mm - 150mm expected over 12 hrs on Saturday, I am considering bailing for a couch and a day of cricket on Sat...

ok my arm has been twisted and im going, perhaps guilt from postoning next weekend, see you on the flip side!
