Yeah I just lost way to transfer it to maps with an eta and directions. Sorted now!
If we can aim for 9am meet that might be safer for us track guys?

So Auckland folks....
We will meet at BP Drury Motorway service centre (Autobahn Cafe carpark) https://goo.gl/maps/iJmNj1N8khK2
From 7:30am. With an aim to leave at 8am for our back country run to Hampton Downs to meet the others.
If you want to chat and mingle at the BP aim for 7:30. If you woukd rather sleep in aim for 8am. Or just before. But we will be leaving at 8am sharp! So be aware!! :D

Also my wife has mentioned coming along a few times. (Whether she actually will or not...?) But if so she might like to join the other ladies and chat chat chat. She does like a good chat! And wine! Although it wont be a quiet wine, or just the one, can tell you that!

I'm just trying to figure out when we need to meet to make this run to Hamptons Charlie shared. Then will organise an Auckland meeting time to make it to meet the rest of you at 930 :D :D
To be updated soon!
Be worth bringing the Gazeebo, I'm trailering my car so will have spare wheels etc and stuff that can be used to anchor down it. Weather hard to predict but looks like there may be a shower or two.

So its a good chance to bring the better half and they can stay in the comfort of the apartment, have a quiet wine and chat, chat , chat.

Not sure about pass outs from the track, it says track guys only can get a pass out. We may be able to sneak up to the apartment for lunch. Get a coffee etc. We dont have truckloads of people so should be all sweet.

PM me for details if youre wanting for the wives & kids, girlfriends to hang out there. No cost to them and they get an awesome view of the track. I reckon we will have to sneak up there during the day , for great views of the track and hot food and coffee.

For apartment access just call me on 0274506732 and we will get someone to come out and let you through the security gate to get in the Northern Apartment block. No parking available inside so just park in the general parking area. I am going up Friday night so no problem for those who want to come early
