Vinnie Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Going for a bit of a road trip, leaving on monday morning to go south and have no plans what so ever apart for having to be in Christchurch by friday evening. Any one got any recommendations on places to stop? Any clubs having their meetings this week as it would be cool to stop by some of the other clubs? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamstar99 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Drive to Hanmer via Molesworth station if the weather is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 We won't be having a meeting but you are welcome to stay here (got 2 spare rooms and beds) and I can take you to visit a few members' homes. Nothing spectacular by way of tanks though you can have a cuppa by my pond :lol: Go down the Kaikoura coast and stop to see the baby seals at the Ohau waterfall http://www.trampingtracks.co.nz/Ohau-Waterfall-Walk.html You could turn off at Kaikoura and head to Hanmer or go over to the west coast (always worth a visit and totally different to the rest of the country) via the Lewis Pass then back to ChCh through Arthur's Pass.

Vinnie Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hanmer springs is all ready on the list. Thanks for the offer Caryl but I have family in and just out of Blenheim so I'll be expected to stay there. Would be keen to meet up with the local club members though. Will flick you a pm once we know our plan, but I think Nelson is our first stop - family there as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Sure thing. Just keep us informed and we will see what we can do. I have one club member who lives next door and the rest are not too far apart for most to attend an impromptu meeting, or cuppa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Don't Forget Hokitika Beach! or if you can't make it there go to the beach infront of Craddock Drive in West Port. Its a Beach full of drift wood :thup: Oh and Go to the old Deniston (mine), Its a really cool place with amazing Views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well so far we have gone from Motueka to Hammer, going to enjoy the hot pools this morning. Will probably turn around and carry on heading south on the west coast for today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
