Back by (I hope) popular demand, this is the 4th year of my camping and Cannonball Run weekends. For anyone who hasn't attended before, this is a weekend of caching events that I hope will allow as many people as possible to join us for as much of the weekend as suits them. Stay for as little or as much as you like, and hope to see you there.
So what's this particular event all about?
A "Food & Games" night to help unwind after a hard days caching. Kick back, relax, join in with any games that take your fancy. Don't worry if you've never seen or played them before, guidance will be freely available. Those doing the guiding are always up for bribery with Chocolate if you want to play better 
Games (both card and board games) will be available on the night, but feel free to bring along any you enjoy yourself.
Bring along your own Food and Drinks, and join us. There's plenty of takeaway options available in Levin about 7-8km away from this reserve for anyone who doesn't want to cook tonight :)
Please Note: FTF logs will not be allowed on this event. Events are 'attended' rather than 'found'.
The mainstay of the weekend will be based at the Kimberley Reserve, on the outskirts of Levin. This reserve allows Motor Homes and Camping (for a maximum of 2 nights) that is completely free of charge. You can learn more from the council website Kimberley-Reserve-Levin.
Camping is by permit only. You can sort out your own (free) permit using their online booking form on the link above or else there is a security guard that goes around the campground at about 7pm each evening, and they can issue permits on the spot. They are still free to do it this way.
The facilities there are rudimentary but more than adequate. There are toilets and changing rooms available, drinking water, and good mobile reception here.
Nestled right by the Ohau river, the reserve is no more than 8km max (driving distance) from all the facilities of Levin such as supermarkets, cafes and takeaways, fuel, shops etc.
For anyone who wants to attend the weekend but would prefer a tad more luxury than available at Kimberley, there is a Motor Camp in Levin, as well as plenty of Motels etc to choose from.
