Mt Pole

Stuart and I had lunch next to the forested Mt Pole, which Stuart, Robin and John had surveyed for suitability a couple of years ago. From the road it looked very good. Here's a photo from the suitability survey.
On the sign next to the Forest it said that it was owned by Matariki Forests and managed by Rayonier. Does any of you have contacts here and can help us out with access (or a contactperson) to have another look at the area. It used to be owned by Carter Holt. Please put any information you might have as a comment below or flick me an email.

Meeting with Main Power

Stuart and I had a meeting with Main Power, who are working on a windmill project on top of Mt Cass. They were very positive about us organising orienteering at Mt Cass and would like to support us by giving us access to their very high resolution aerial photos and 2 meter contours of part of the area if we go ahead with the mapping project.
Next step is to contact the biggest landowner in the area, which is TransWaste and Richard, Trish and I have already had a meeting about Kate Valley, where they were very positive. Hopefully they will be as positive about us accessing Mt Cass. We can then start investigating the area and its possibilities a bit further.
