Ready to roll

Last entry before we start. Getting up at 8am tomorrow and start at 10am. Three days hiking, two nights in Papatahi hut. Should be back Sunday afternoon/evening.

Last statement of Ian before we go:

“Ok gang, according to my event organiser safety clipboard we currently have 11, possibly 12, people arriving in an unknown number of groups at unknown times with unknown comms links between entry teams. Therefore I’ll duck out of any organising from here on in. Don’t die.

Just to update you, Flo and Nina will be joining me going in tomorrow morning. If we’re not there on your arrival, make sure you have that code for the door.”

Happy tramping everyone! =P

A possible name that came up was beerflow which I slightly changed into Beer-Floh. =P I don’t think Flo will go for a seperate blog but maybe he will write about some on here… Continue reading
