Water proof trousers are essential for biking in winter!

If you want us to leave any of our gear behind in Auckland for you to collect, then let us know.
Anyone’s welcome for a spot of skiing in Chatel in April.

P.S. Tan has taken to devouring chunks of my arm now that she’s off cheese. Painful to say the least!

Hail Dod,
Well, we will spruce Gerty up for the sale, though it will be a wrench to part with her, she has been a good car. I do reckon that the Biking is the way to go in this weather, and some of the scenery we wizzed passed will be much more appreciated by bike. There are pplaces you can stay with a tent for free, but not many and they are usually along side roads which are easily explored by car but after 100klm on the bike a hot shower will seem much more important than $20!!!! Abd you won’t have to pay for diesel, tax bla bla bla so will probably break even if not save money in the long run if you get a bike – after having bought it and the gear that is! The less you carry the better i say! Well, Liv, let me know about the skiing and if you want to come to Chatel or if you have some other epic trip pl;anned! The trip to chatel will be cheap i would say, only flight and ski pass to get!!! Well, cheers all and must go and stock up on CHEESE!!!! I have been of cheese due to largening posteriour but am allowed to have some for the epic walk tomorrw!!!!

Skiiing you say?!? Well, Geoffs Dad and Rich and Geoff and Will are going at easter from the 2nd to the 9th, 10th or 11th of april. I have ben offered airmile flight!! None available to extended familly though! We could get the same flat as last time if anyone is interested in coming then. What do you reckon? It is eaither skiing or the lake district from the dates that i remember. What price the lake district in may? Geoff is up for that one and as he fancies going skiing in april the may one would be better. Let me know what you all reckon. Mama could de a spot of cross country if the old knee wasn’t going to stand up to the hills! If Jul is going to germany and the couple of old hazzbeens nestling at Gainsford chicken out than Liv is most welcome to stay in the gibbs flat with me as there is anough space for all! Can’t say farer than that! So get5 booking i say! Well, let me know anyway. Tongariro start tommorow at 6.30! Cor!
