BEER Hey, also should mention to all you beer drinkers, Bryan has just started working at a little brewery outside mot where they make some really good unique beers. Not too expensive and everything comes in 2litre bottles (or bring your own) so very much in tramping club style :) Bryan is there tues/wed/thurs and might be able to get you some ...

Cheers for all the planning craig- this is amping up to be awsome times, i'm stoked so many people are going to make it. I'm sorry we cant have it at my place- unfortunatly in one of the recent big rains my driveway washed out, which makes it a bit harder to accomodate lots of people!  However, I am right near the airport, so ...

I'll be heading home to the San Juan Islands (south of vancouver island, north of seattle) sometime in the fall to try and get a few summers in a row :) -Jess

snow shmow, its cold enough already! Just think, sun, lazy days in the sun, climbing ropes that are not frozen, tramping without frostbite, campfires, free seafood, and a movie theatre with couches! Now thats a holiday :p

Heyo, yup, definitly scheeming. I'm going to takaka for a week or so. I have work to do on my place but would also like to do some climbing and exploring etc... would be keen to have a few people come to split travel costs.

Just a heads up for all you new to the club- as your group leader will only have one day to track you down and confirm you have gear, please please please read the gear list on the website and make sure you have collected as much of it as possible.
