Shit hey, small world.

Should've gunned it through that off camber bit and might not of slid back into that hole.

To be honest I don't give a rats on what people say about entering crossings. If It's clean water and you have snorkel...so much fun over windscreen...lol

What about either next Sunday (17th) or saturday the 30th May?
10th May 2015, 03:42 PM
lucus30

Hmm I'd be keen I think 30th I might be free but would have to double check. Would any one else be interested in either a day trip to toolangi or an overnighter?

I've just been given the official nod for the weekend of the 30th and 31st. So anybody else interested ?

My weekends have to be spontaneously decided upon but tentatively like ;)

I think I'm ok and keen to go. Will also double check tomorrow. I would be keen to camp Saturday night if I am free that weekend. It would take me quite a while to get over there, so I'd have to start very early on Saturday if I was to meet you guys at any reasonable time. Would be a bit far for just a day trip for me I reckon.

Bacho86's high country trip also sounds really good, but unfortunately I do already have something for that weekend.

Seems there is enough interest to warrant it, not sure if it will be an over nighter at this stage though
10th May 2015, 10:33 PM
Rossco

Don't think I've got anything booked in this weekend, I'll keep an eye on this and see how it goes . . . Could be a goer. . .

Nice work for bring it up Lucus. I should be good for either day/overnighter as that's my weekend off. Will need to arrange something about kids footy, but shouldn't be a problem.
11th May 2015, 01:21 PM
lucus30

Ok what is people's preference single day trip on the 30th? or Over nighter 30th and 31st?
I know CGM's preference is to stay any one elses thoughts?
11th May 2015, 08:20 PM
DSPIES

day trip, but i'd certainly try and make both days if i can.
11th May 2015, 10:53 PM

If people are happy to do overnight that gives the ones that are traveling a better chance of attending and those that can't stay on to at least make it for the day.
Happy to do either.

My 2 cents anyway.
11th May 2015, 11:01 PM

I checked and I don't have any other commitments that anyone is aware of. I'll join a day trip if that's all people want. Keen to get out and never been up there so happy to tag along.
11th May 2015, 11:06 PM
lucus30

OK lock it in for a day trip to toolangi on the 30th then. I'll keep an eye on the weather if it isn't going to be pooring we can look at staying the night

Thinking about meeting in the same spot as last year ( corner Melba hwy and healesville-kinglake rd) about 11am to give time to those that have to travel

I'll start a new thread tomorrow, can't be bothered doing it on the phone

Ok thx , that's a comfortable time. Since you've taken the lead Lucus, might be good to start a new thread with the heading with right dates and all.
