Queens Birthday Weekend Police Blitz

[macca]

That's a really tricky one Macca,

If you were planning a big interstate trip with a big group and plan on a number side ventures then as long as everyone in the group is clear that that was the plan and people would be venturing off here and there then everything is manageable can be tough finding the middle ground.

That is more what I'm thinking of, not on a weekend trip in rough country.

Although it does work out that way sometimes with people leaving early or alternate route past a hard bit etc.

Now you know how some spend their weekends there is an opportunity to make it very clear when you plan to get moving.

My technique with stops is point out loo's or servo's if available, and watch when cups are getting empty with a call of "saddle up" to get every one back in their cars. Give them a couple of minutes and drive off slowly calling for tail-end-charly to sing out when he is on the move. Never had an issue except one micro managing trip leader, never been on a trip he has led since!

On my trips I always give a time and direction of departure. If you are not ready you can catch up. It is amazing how quickly this catches on and in no time everyone gets the message.

Works for me!
