Hello all,

If you're interested in the tubing trip this weekend could you let me know at the meeting tonight or via email? Need to get a good idea of numbers so we can sort out transport (let me know if you can bring car too) and see if we've got enough tubes! And in case you don't know, tubing is where we throw ourselves down rivers in inflated truck tire inner tubes which is lots of fun!

The basic plan for this trip is to wander in on Friday night to Field or Penn Creek huts (2-4 hours depending) and then float down the Otaki River on Saturday. Its a bit weather dependent (we, or at least I, won't go if its flooded or freezing cold) and you'll need to be able to find yourself a wetsuit.

Other things that might come in handy:

• Helmet
• Dry bag for anything you don't want to get wet (ie sleeping bag)
• Sleeping bag for friday night
• Breakfast, lunch
• some extra warm clothes (hat, gloves)
• life-jacket?
• cars to get us there

Will update later in the week as to whether/what is happening!

Cheers

Right, have got enough tubes now so the trip is all go! Have emailed the people who expressed interest, so let me know if you didn't get it. Main thing is to bring yourself + wetsuit to Hunter carpark tomorrow (Friday) at 5.30pm and we'll go from there.

In addition to the stuff mentioned above a torch would be handy for Friday night walking and pump for inflating your tube on saturday - have purchased 3 pumps from the warehouse for the club so don't worry too much if you don't have one...

Cheers,
