Hi all, Just a quick clarification about the YMCA Camp Kaitoke location for those getting themselves there as something screwy happened with the google maps link that I previously sent.
This is the map location: http://goo.gl/maps/RhI8D Oddly the camp doesn't have their address listed anywhere, but it's at the end of Kiwi Ranch Rd, Pakuratahi, Upper Hutt If you can't make the bus due to flights/work/etc then the cheapest option seems to be getting a supershuttle as it'll be about $100. You can catch a cab, but it'll be about twice the price. I went to their site and said the destination was Kaitoke: https://www.supershuttle.co.nz --nahum On Friday, March 8, 2013 4:29:31 PM UTC+13, nahum wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > The camp is only 14 sleeps away!! so it's time for a big update and some > notifications. > > For the first time campers, yes you need to bring your own bedding, > toiletries - ie a sleeping bag, pillow, > toothbrush & paste etc...
