Lower north round up to head up to Hawkes Bay - overnight 28th/29th October

Post by ClanFever »

In case you haven't been looking at the Hawke's bay run http://mr2.org.nz/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14377 - me, Gary and Keith are organizing for us to head up and join them!

We want to leave Pahiatua about 10.30ish so we need to be up bright and early the further south we are. I am still unsure whether I will be waking up in the Hutt or in Kapiti, but we'll need to leave Otaki/Levin no later than 915am/930am respectively or Masterton no later than 945am. So can any Wellington guys let me know if they're coming (I believe Dixon is) and I'll sort us a plan individually based on who's coming from where and post that, I'll get Gary and Keith to post their spots to leave from on here

Thanks

I've booked into Bella Tuscany Motor Lodge on Kennedy Road :D
There is a really nice place that was $14,300 per night but they'll do it for $2300 a night as a special and throw in breakfast but it was a bit out of town and the MR2 didn't need to helipad to land on .... so gave that one a miss :D !!!!!!!

Sue and I are going. We are booked at BK's Fountain Court. Reasonably priced accomodation is getting a bit scarce. I like the sound of the one Gary found but I would have to give the my car as payment, a bit pointless really.
Probably leaving Otaki about 9:00 to meet the Wairarapa guys at Pahiatua.. Allows plenty of time to get there ( about three hours ).

Hi Guys,

Don't know if anyone will go on here, but worth a try. I was the missing MR2, the red one. Missed the turn, ended up going to SH5, whoops. But anyone if anyone gets this and there's a plan for tonight and tomorrow, either give me a txt 0273449574, or I'll have a look here later.
