We used to bring Diesel's crate with us camping but it was huge and a pain in the ass, last trip we just let him sleep in the back seat of the Patrol with the windows cracked open and he seemed to love it.

Mine normally sleeps in the tent with us. But in the swag id either just put him under the awning in a bed next to the swag or in the back of the car ( The ms worries he will sook without us being near him)

Maybe try it out one time when you are able to put him next to you if he does sook... I thought Diesel might sook a bit too but he was fine

Seeing that a few kids are going can I suggest you buy them a ref's whistle when youre camping.
Just in case they wander away or get disoriented.

Whilst I'm still shattered I won't be taking the GU away this weekend, Dad is leading a trip up Dargo way so I'll be riding shotgun to give him a hand - sounds like we'll be doing some similar tracks, so may see you all out there!

Don't forget lollies for the kiddies

Don't forget the flange Winnie

I've never been to this camp spot, is there a contingency plan in case the main spot is taken or do we just camp off to the side and suck it up?
29th October 2015, 06:28 AM
Rossco

Yeah good point thinking about a contingency. . .Was thinking the same. There are other spots along that road i guess, wouldn't be too hard to find most are pretty visible along the road. . .

I'll be leaving my house around 5am. Jaysee was going to meet me but as yet we haven't worked out where. I was thinking perhaps the BP on the pakenham bypass which would make it about 5:30am?

If you decide on leaving Saturday morning, we can meet at the mccas on the ring road about 4.30.

Is that the one before the golf club?

It's going to be a bit hectic on the lead up to this.
I finish work at 7am on Friday morning. On the way home I'll do my food/drink shopping and get some sleep. Load up in the afternoon and be ready to leave as I'm out Friday night for dinner for the old man's birthday. Hopefully get home about midnight top up on sleep and be on the road by 4.

Looking forward to this trip.....
