Some will go faster but others will cruse. We will all be together just some will do more miles than others. No one will be left behind. So its a perfect opportunity to get out there.
You will need enough fuel for 4hrs boating

Sunday ready to go at the ramp at 10am, BBQ lunch at Gorge bridge, I have BBQ just bring what you want to eat.

Anyone without an Orange flag Can PM me as JD has dropped more of the club ones off for us to sell on their behalf
After we return we will debrief at the West coast Bar in Papanui....

The plan is to Launch up the road from the ramp at the first access to the river as there is the Charity day being held at the ramp (wish we had known about it before we organized this run as we could have helped)
Sounds like a few are going to turn up so if you are unsure call me tomorrow at work on 3270923 or 0275767227. It should be a good run as there are a couple of families coming along and it will suit everyone, The river is in Awesome condition

Glynn and Keith may also be attending as well, both with reasonably new Scottcrafts.

All go tomorrow, Drive past the ramp to the first entrance onto the river and head left as there is good launching off the beach, If anyone has a car you will be fine to get to the river where there will be heaps of 4x4s to launch your boat so dont let that put you off. I will have spare fuel on board just in case someone runs short (normal river rates apply.. 1 for 1 which means one liter of fuel for 1 beer :mrgreen: :mrgreen: )

Went for a wee drive up the river in the boat tonight and its real good......so see you tomorrow

Awesome days boating with a great bunch of people, Thanks guys. The river was low enough to be challenging in places......some even got delayed due to the carnage of other boats blocking channels :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
My first stuck was Gauldys fault (he was driving) and my 2nd was Gauldys fault for not spotting the exit :mrgreen:
