Thursday 8th February
We’ll be running around like mad things making sure that we’ve got everything organised. Hopefully you’ll be getting your gear together and getting organised too. We may be doing a trip in with some gear – possibly marquees, camp chairs etc…
If anyone wants to stay the Thursday night at the DOC Lodge, please arrange this directly with DOC in Picton: +64 3 520 3002
Friday 9th February
We’ll be heading in to Nydia Bay early doors to start setting up. Hopefully you’ll be taking a well deserved day off and getting on bikes, boats, or on your feet and making your way in to the Bay too. Help will of course be appreciated if you arrive early. We’ll be putting up marquees, transporting gear from the jetty to the On The Track Lodge. Settling in to the bunkhouse or pitching tents and getting yourselves sorted will be the order of the day. Explore the bay and make your own arrangements for food and drink. We’re sure there’ll be a few drinks around the fire-pit at the On The Track Lodge or over at the DOC Lodge, and plans hatched for activities for the following day.
Saturday 10th February
Enjoy the best of the bay for the morning. We imagine that some people will go for a walk or a ride – be aware of others on the trails if you do! others might go for a SUP, a sail, or find someone to take them wakeboarding/waterskiing! Any volunteers for collecting Oysters & Mussels or going fishing would be much appreciated.
Timings:
- 15:00 – 16:00 (ish): The Ceremony will be at approximately 3pm at the jetty about 1km to the North of the On The Track Lodge. If you’d like a seat, please bring a camp chair!
- 16:00 – 18:00: Drinks and nibbles at the On The Track Lodge. We’ll meander back for drinks, nibbles, games and general messing about.
- 16:00 – 20:00: BBQ – We’re providing chilly bins full of various meats and veges, salads etc… but it will be a case of cooking it yourself… or finding someone to cook it for you! We’ll be bringing in a boat load of BBQs, and we can also use the kitchen and pizza oven at the lodge. So food is whenever you want it!
- 20:00 onwards: Music, dancing, partying!
Sunday 11th February
For those keen to fuel up for the ride or walk out, join us for a brunch at the On The Track Lodge at about 10am.
