If nothing else make sure you get a sound track

 

I think the GY drive is the best in the district, and a good cafe on arrival. Also returning sees the 9am+ tourists & JAFAs going to GY, so road is generally clear on the return.

 

Steve/Gary/Doug

Ok let's go dawn raid Glenorchy, with cafe/breakfast stop rerun for the Sunday. Means plenty time to get the girls ready for lunch Gibbston Valley. Gary and Steve plus wives please join us for lunch if you will.

Doug I agree over the hill dawn run Mon is the way to go. Not sure we need to lead it on to Highlands as that starts mid day and not sure we will want to drive 6 hours before 4 on track and 1 home again. We can also do dawn rain Tuesday before tidying the houses and driving to Timaru?

Gary thanks so much for possible contact with hoist and P-car knowledge. I hope we don't need to call on you for this but nice to know the option may exist if needed etc....PS congrats on getting into another 993. Great car :-)

 

^^^^^ All sounds good to me Macca

 

These dawn raids sound good to me too

 

Also on 13th there is a bike race from Queenstown to Wanaka Return, so best heading to GY.

 

what time is dawn...?

 

7.30am approx. we will leave the barracks just after 7.00am to be out of town by the time the sun rises ;-)

 

too serious Macca!! .. I seldom see the dawn so ...

 

Me neither Phil but once in a while to get a potential world class road drive without traffic....:-)

 

...opps meant for another thread...

 

7am is late!! Quite happy to go earlier with the possibility of empty roads

Liking the idea of sorties each free morning, and really looking forward to the SITT in general.

 

+1. Jake, you and I can head off around 6-6.30 and clear the roads for the gents still snoring aye.

Phil - I thought you were a hardened boatie. Aren't you boaties up at sparrows fart to get to your destination before the wind gets up ?? :-P

 

Early starters can go on a little bit more past GY to Paradise.

 

Doug, maybe in the old days..now if the weather is going to be dodgy I wait till its not..plus my wee girl is somewhat immune to most of the weather conditions of the gulf..
