Hi all, due to some unforeseen circumstances we have had to change the starting location for the Bandit Run in the North Island. The starting point will now be the Z Station at the Bombay Hills, meeting at 9.30am to leave by 10am. All other stops are per the itinerary. If you haven't already, there's still time to register at [email protected]

Hotson and his beautiful Firebird are coming from Auckland to ChCh on the Bandit Run, he sent me through some details on good discount ferry crossings through www.cookstraitcrossings.co.nz
Check the link below

Tony Hirst is the person to contact for anyone who is crossing as part of the Bandit Run.
The crossing is with InterIslander on January 30th at 1:00pm and anyone going can call Tony on 021 726 711. (Also, another sailing at 4pm)
He said it is a busy time of the year so anyone planning to go down should call him now.
He will make the booking and email them an invoice. This doesn’t have to be paid until January 17th, so if they change their mind or can’t go they don’t have to pay and their trip is cancelled. (They just need to let Tony know)

I’m booked. I just called Tony and did it all over the phone. Really easy. My return cost is $396.00.
