Never ask for preferences, pick a place, a time and the interested parties will come.

I am just doing sausages and bread maybe some cheese, I was going to bring a gas barbq but if you have a swing on campfire one I could borrow that would be great. Please let me know by friday, so I can be prepared

We had a fun day ( well I had a fun day.... ), jury might still be out for others.

Roll call was :
Callum
Matt
Bruce
2 of Callums mates - a patrol and a Disco
Yours truly

DId Glenburn and then to a CLOSED Rocky track - complete with SECURITY GUARD to keep people away from the drilling rig ( core sampling ). Back to the powerline end of Glenburn and then up the fence line to Marginal Rd. Doesn't sound much does it, but when its punctuated by recoveries every half hour or so its made a full day.

Callum set the tone for the day...

This was accompinied by a loud bang - leading to.....

Resulting in .......

and a very bent rear panhard ( no pic, crawling under a patrol isn't that interesting.... )

And the Feroza didn't get sworn at all day, love tyres with some bite.... :D :D :D

So - thanks Callum for a full day and BBQ lunch, dad and I enjoyed it

I had a great day, thanks all for coming and the tyre off the bead was a family activity I organised to show how to change a tyre in the bush, (and get annoyed in the process).

Thanks to Ross for helping with direction and all for good company

Cheers Callum

You have no idea of the risk you were taking letting me "navigate"..... could have easily ended up at Paddy's Swamp.

Still luck was on my side - or perhaps it was the GPS. :P
