Yeeessss, I would love to!!
I will endevour to make a way!
I would most likely attend with Mtbikeroz, my Dad, as we did @ Wagga.
I would prefer Easter, easier to get away.
Now that I know this may be happening, I can start saving!

It would be difficult to camp in NZ unless everything was provided or could be hired, but I also heard some rumblings
about Easter 2012 here. I would love to visit NZ what is the usual weather conditions at Easter?

TBH I'd rather 2012 Easter in OZ, makes it easier to travel and bring the camping kit.

Having said that, if things were provided / able to be hired we'd be there! :D 8-[

It would certainly give us a reason to go and get our passports. For Mrs Bundy and I, I think a hire campervan would be the go, unless we decided to freight over the bike and trailer.

Now to start stocking up on LED throwies. I wonder how I get a suitcase full of them through customs?

Cheers
Bundy
