Sweet. I'm awful and haven't been following the thread...when are you here? Maybe if I get an idea of your route I could rock on up and annoy you lot?
Nothing pre-set but a few markers for the first few days.
Sat night Oct 28 North-AKL
Sun night Oct 29 Pakiri area along the coast (Wellsford level) a friend of Doug's leads us from AKL for the day, stay on his farm
Mon 30 Oct Kaipara/ Tangihua and stay in Dargaville
Tues hitting the beaches around Poutu Point and up to Aranga, tides looking favourable.
Stay at the south side of the Hokianga, maybe Horeke Tavern
then dawdling north from there.
