They were gobsmacked...lol
I forgot to ask about wood actually Chappy!!!
Anyways, apparently the 5 houses we have booked can accommodate 90 sardines so we are all good but I said we like to have room and not share rooms with stranger dangers!
I'll chase up wood collection though!
There is Snow in them there Hills!
Snow at Matlock. Snow on BlueRag
I just drove through licola tonight and there was a bit of snow at the car park we played at last year. Lots of snow further up ;)
Unfortunately I'm out for the Licola trip this year. It's been confirmed that that weekend is my daughters birthday party.Quote:

Just spoke to Licola and the neighbouring farm up from cabin 1 has a lot of wood available from fallen trees.
The farmer is ok for us to access his farm, close gate behind you of course so happy days!
So @Rossco. Ya here that? Bring your chainsaw brother. Or I could bring my little chinese special.Quote:

But I only have 35inch muddies so they will be going on. Or I could leave the 33inch AT's on for some slippery loving. lol.Quote:

Plow on through. You will have fun.Quote:

Also make sure someone in your group has a chainsaw as the wood on the ground is very hard and scarce. collect wood whenever you se it from 10am onwards for the nights fire, you might not see any more that day!
Cheers Daz, really looking forward to it now it's gong to be epic. Yeah expecting it to be wet and a potential slog can't wait should be a real adventure. Was expecting nice days but cold nights. Wasn't going to bring a saw but might take my little arb saw. From memory they weren't allowed last time, however if your doing other travels surely can't be too much of an issue to have one with you.Quote:

Don't forget to take your mankini! :shivering::shivering:
Ah the Navara will love it mate. At least there are fridges etc at the park so you don't have to worry about most of that stuff.
Yeah not overly stressed, if it all falls apart I'll just take Leah's Nav and fill up eskys, no probs.Quote:
