Cup weekend forum meet up DARGO Oct30th - 3rd Nov

[lucus30]

Just got home, wish we could've stayed longer!

Another successful meet up with some new faces too which was great to see.

Weather broke up a bit near the end of the trip but still humid so swimming and undies all round!

What was a bit disappointing was the rude police targeting 4wders. Pretty much every single person in the entire region was pulled over and roadworthy check.

Apart from that the camp spot was great Winnie, shame you couldn't be there!

We made a big cook up with 250 chicken skewers with all types of spice concoctions!

Photos to follow!

They were rude they just said give us your license and that was it. Wouldn't hurt to say something like hi mate. Just checking a few things due to blah blah. Can we please see your license

Oh and i forgot Sprocks drunken effort to get a dog enema had us in tears....

Good to see the grass was down compared to two weeks ago. Glad everyone had a ball.

Just got back- great trip all in all with a few mishaps and dramas, but that all adds to the adventure really!!

Firstly I am happy to take full responsibility for completely stuffing up and navigating successfully to Collins Hut as opposed to Collins Flat- Whoops!! After heading down a reasonable 4WD track with campers in tow (AB and Marks) we reached the camping area which was pretty small, covered with thistles and no toilet. We were pretty much about to set up when it didn't quite feel right so AB and I checked the map and yep . . . O Dear. Ha Ha, it was at this point that I noticed the brake pedal slowly sink and a split had developed in the hose so we slowly headed off to Colins Flat via Dargo.

After calling Winnie he had his old brake lines which he was going to pack and bring up- sweet!Nicko told us about his ankle in the mornig. (Bugger) Anyway many many thanks Winnie and Amy for coming up to Dargo to drop them off- pretty quick fix after that, and spewing you guys missed out.

Didn't get much driving in but headed down to Crooked river which was great I'll put some photos up later. Bit of a downer with the cops but Mudski and I dodged a bullet, they went past but must of been going on home shift.

Thanks too all, special thanks to Jeremy for the tunes Mark and Lou for the Chinese style chicken skewers and nibbles and Sprock and Daniel for heading out for the first time, definatly hope to see you again.

Bloody hell guys, I'm glad you had loads of fun. Spewing more of you couldn't get into Dargo for a sneaky secret pub lunch I tried to get you on the sat phone a couple of times and sent an sms too

I nearly threw it in the fire as it was playing up with some error then starts working as we left...grrrr

I know it beltted a couple of times but was there very heavy cloud cover at the time?

Yep and fog.

I thought that may of been the case but it kept saying initialising handset, please wait, then it reset. Repeatedly did that the whole trip.

But now that you mentioned it I only checked the phone when it was heavy cloud and fog and now that I am home it works fine?

[Winnie]

When I called, I got a recorded message that said please wait while we try to connect you... Then blank for 15 seconds then your msg bank (very enthusiastic by the way)
I don't know if that's normal but I was expecting some dial tone
