No fuel at Matlock.

Luke, are you planning on driving up through Aberfeldy? The road between Aberfeldy and Matlock may be blocked by snow, Matlock to Woodspoint is usually kept open with a grader but not the bit south of Matlock.

Has anyone got a water ski rope they can bring? I will throw the snowboard in if anyone thinks there will be enough snow?

I'd say it's guaranteed there's going to be enough snow.

I have a favour to ask - can someone who is coming up on Friday pick us up a dozen bread rolls on their way? There's normally a lack of fresh bread in Jamieson.

Steve.

or 2 ropes ;)
could always use a winch extension but I'm chucking my board in too.
I got little girls feet so if you want a ride its byo boots.

P.S.

Just found a 30kg gum branch across the other side of the park and carried it home :D tick.

Just round, white rolls mate.

If I was planning Glamping, I'd be asking for a couple of Portuguese custard tarts from Giant Steps while you're there ;)

Which I'm not. Because I'm a manly man. :mrgreen:
