Here's another update of who's coming along.

Here's the list of confirmed payments so far

1 Rotaman - paid
2 Brettus - paid
3 Ayrab and partner - paid
4 Xcon - paid
5 Scottnz & Mrs Scottnz - paid
6 Nzmkey and codriver - paid
7 Sweetfa - Sat only
8 stephen rx8 & partner - paid
9 Pottsy as codriver - paid

Would be good to add another couple to this, hopefully if everyone can have a go this week of finding one person would be great.

This could be fun if we are going to be in that part of the country:
Welcome to the Whangamata Beach Hop

Scott that could be a good idea as well, as we won't be too far away from there.
Gee maybe I should be bringing my Rotary Beach Buggy along, that would fit right in at a beach hop.

Only 3 Days to Go

Here's a list of things you will need to bring with you.

1) Sleeping bag or sheets, don't need to worry about pillows.

2) A Towel

3) A stopwatch or if you have a timer on your phone, that will be fine.

4) A camera to take some nice photos

5) If anyone has a good video setup, that would be great.

6) Dont forget to bring a pen or pencil along as well

For anyone coming down from Auckland, maybe you could all meet up at the BP on the southern motorway at 8.30am and then that would give you a good hour to get to the start point in Hamilton by 9.30am.
Don't be late to the start point.
I won't be at the BP, as I plan to be down in Hamilton by 9.00am, as I will be meeting up with Brettus before the event starts.

Sounds like a plan. I'm keen to meet up at the BP if anyone else is.

1 Day to Go

Don't forget a 9.30am start down in Hamilton at Gate 1 carpark of the Hamilton Gardens. This is Cobham drive roundabout into Hungerford Cres and then meet up at the carpark on the right.

Have fun, I'm sitting at work as I'm babysitting my mother this weekend and didn't even get to drive to the Naki as planned. Jealous much!

What an excellent weekend exploring areas around coromandel that I haven't been to for a long time. Great roads, cool people (except for the neighbors!) and fun times. Thanks to all who came, and especially Roger for organizing an great weekend.

Photos to follow.
