Beerwah SF trip, anyone interested?

[dungarover]

G'day,

I was taking to Mick on the weekend and I want to do a Beerwah run sometime early Oct preferably. The reason for this thread is to get a feel for interest sake before a trip page is drafted up.

Permit-wise, it's red-tape bull**** (there's a 'way' around that, will not disclose on the forum). It's going to be a long-ish day from the GC as it's a good 1 1/2 hour run to Cabooluture where the trip starts. The trip is well worth the drive. Mick can vouch for it.

Please, this will be a Black-Red rated trip (last section of hills fits the G4 Orange catagory) so it's for more modified vehicles only. Good rubber (AT's min) and at least one locker or factory TC would be a minimum requirements also mandatory recovery gear and points. 8 vehicle max as it's quite slow and some recoverty will be required.

So, who's intersted :) :D

Trav

[Hardy]

Pick me!

I just had so much fun last time. (RRCQ)
Plus I'll have the 33" MT's on by then - wheee !!


Hardy

[LoadedDisco]

Trav,
I will put down as a tentative if I have time off work when the date is set. I have family at Caboolture and would stay the night up there.
I will send off my renewal of the Parks pass in the next few days.
Sound like a good trip Trav. :)

[weeds]

will watch with interest, i'm working at least the middle two weekends in october

[DRanged]

I will help fly the flag for the Classic Rangies. If the trip is latter half of Oct would be a possibility. Work is holding up my mods and maintenance on Dranged but we will get there some how.

Regards Justin

[Outlaw]

Sounding good to me if i have a vehicle... no locker but RFD usually helps if Discoute's got the beast strong enough.

[MickG]

I'm in for sure.....this is a great day out and well worth the drive from the coast!! Will chat to you on Thursday at the meeting Trav about dates and details;)

Might catch me giving big red a nudge this time ( think it was called big red:angel: )

Aye, Mick

[weeds]

here is the link to obtain a permit, pretty easy if you have a fax, just done mine hoping the dates will suit

http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/publications/p01812aa.pdf/Permit_to_traverse_with_a_motorised_vehicle_State_ Forests_Forest_Reserves_and_Timber_Reserves.pdf

[bolts]

Depending on dates and times, I up for it - if in the last week of October before then then I'm out - let see the dates first.

[weeds]

at this stage i'm not available 14/15 oct

good on ya trav for a trip on the north side

best i make every effort to attend

[Camo]

14/15 suits me the best:)

camo

[dungarover]

Okay, so would 23-24 October suit?

Either day is fine with me and would a Saturday suit all?

Dates are hard to suit all unfortunatley, but the date with the most attendants (within the 8 car limit) is the one I'll run with. Everyone will have to get there permit from the PDF download link (thanks Weeds).

I'll talk to Mick at the meeting on Thursday. If I get plenty of interest, I might extend the max number a bit but we had 9 vehicles last time and although no incident it could of been slow (everyone had well set-up vehicles and all experienced drivers as well).

Yes, should have my winch on by then. Got a near new M8000 Warn off e-bay for $500 yesterday, bloody bargain:D :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Trav

[DRanged]

Go the Saturday

[weeds]

hey trav the dates you posted are a mon and tuesday

i think you mean 21/22 oct

either day for pending work

[dungarover]

hey trav the dates you posted are a mon and tuesday

i think you mean 21/22 oct

either day for pending work

Yep, thanks. Saturday it is,. easier for myself and not such a rush to get home. The traffic from Cabooluture is shocking from 2PM onwatrds as well with everyone cioming home from the coast.

So the 21st October, all good ?

Trav

[MickG]

Sounds good to me.....will post info in the trip section tomorrow Trav

[GuyG]

Hey Trav

Pick me too, another Beerwah trip sounds good - excluding that last hill which is hard enough to walk up

Cheers Guy

[dungarover]

Okay, we have as 'intersted' parties at this point-

Aquarangie
DRanged
MickG
Hobie18
Hardy
Weeds
Tomo (mate of mine who is going to join the club soon as he gets his old duga back!!)

'Unsure' or maybe
Camo
Loaded Disco
Bolts
Outlaw

Anyone else I have forgotten:unsure: That fills the list well and truly.
Trav

[LoadedDisco]

Trav,
Faxed off for the parks traverse renewal today and as soon as the trip date is posted in GCLRO Trips I will organise leave and confirm attendance.

[Camo]

Bugger I will be OS that weekend:( I will make a trip hopefully one day!!

[MickG]

Okay people, trip info here Beerwah Trip (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread.php?p=436442#post436442)

Trav, can you check the info and make sure you are happy with it all. Plan is now to stay at a local camp site on the Saturday night so us Gold Coasters can relax when up there rather than have to drive all the way home again after the days driving!!

Will get in touch with a camp site today hopefully and will post back when I have something.

Aye, MIck

[MickG]

Okay, Glass House Mountains Caravan park has self contained units which sleep 6 people in bunks - have to bring your own bedding, but has shower, kitchen, lounge, tv, microwave. These are $115 p.night which works out at $19.16 p/person for one night.
I can book 2 units depending on numbers so who would be statying, bringing partners, kids, passengers etc. Please post back with numbers in cars looking to stay over night as perhaps another form of accomodation may suit. Bear in mind we wont get to the camp site until late in the afternoon so tents may be a bit of a hassle for one night. If we are just singles, then swags could be the go.

Are you Bribane lot going to want to stay overnight too for a few beers and perhaps we can have a short run the next day too. If so then make sure you add the dates on your permit request.

I will need to put down a deposit to book so if you are coming make sure you are coming!!

Aye, Mick

[dungarover]

This is primarily a day trip but for the GC blokes it would be wise to overnight it, even if you head off the next morning. I'll still be running this as a day trip but feel free to do what you like on the Sunday.

I will be doing a reccee early October ('bout 2 weeks prior) and might do some more exploring of Beerwah

Re- Permit. These will be checked at the BP Cabooluture meet-up as well as a quick vehicle check (ie-recovery points, etc..) so be prepared :)

Trav

[weeds]

Are you Bribane lot going to want to stay overnight too for a few beers and perhaps we can have a short run the next day too. If so then make sure you add the dates on your permit request.

always keen on a beer, always travel with the swag


BP Cabooluture

is this the big one on the hi way or a bp in caboolture itself

[MickG]

always keen on a beer, always travel with the swag

Good man, will keep you posted if we swag it or cabin it but either way we will aim to stay up there and sink a few in the evening.



is this the big one on the hi way or a bp in caboolture itself Big one on the highway.

As Trav says, primarily a day trip but if we do stay overnight we will assume another trip leader for the Sunday if Trav can't make it;)

[NOZ]

Count me in, I will stay for the night ( few beers ) as well

Noz

[MickG]

Okay, I need numbers confirmed for this trip as it is set down for an 8 car max. I also need numbers for people staying overnight at the Glasshouse Mountains camp site so I can book something. I have assumed each persons sleeping arrangements, so please check below and let me know if I have you down incorrectly both for attending and for camping.

Confirmed

4. Outlaw - O/N
5. MickG - O/N
6. Weeds - O/N
7. Hobie18 - Day

Another thing to consider, is those not wishing to bring their cars or cannot due to numbers, there should be plenty of seats if you want to come along and join in the action. If you are keen to be a passenger, let me know and between Trav and myself we will see if we can get you a front row seat!!

Aye, Mick

P.S. Trav, let me know via PM if you are happy with the above.

[stevo68]

Yep, hopefully by then I will have new wheels, so if I cant drive due to numbers would be keen to be a passenger, then have a burl in my new one the next day. Would be considered tentative at this stage

Regards

Stevo

[dungarover]

Since Noz is a club member, I'll add him to the list. Please note there are some 'tough' sections to get through some will need to be done (ie- no easy options) so recovery is likely for those who have issues :eek:

Also note that I am running this trip on the 29th October for the Brissie LROC and if those who can't make the GCLRO trip they're may be some spots so don't worry.

Reccee will be in 3-4 weeks and I'll have more details of the trip then :)

Trav

[NOZ]

Thanks Trav, All going well I look forward to catching up with you all:)

[Hardy]

I'll stay overnight too thanks Mick but nothing fancy - maybe tarp on the dirt, esky for a pillow....



Hardy

[LoadedDisco]

I will probably swag it as well.
Rough it for a night.

[MickG]

Okay, need to firm up the sleeping arrangments so I can book something or find a patch of level grass suitable for approx 7-8 swags - anyone know of such a place around Beerwah? Have spoken to the Glass House Mountains camp ground and they can accomodate us on part of their camp site for 7-8 swags - $65 all up. Not bad really so if you have red text next to your name, please confirm back asap so I can book the camp site. They can also accomodate our cars too and by the sounds of it we would be somewhere down the back of the camp site which is fine by me

Guess I have broken my own rules :oops2: - 11 vehicles ATM are participating :eek: I have run this trip with 15 vehicles before and it was a smooth and non-incident day out. I have yet to do the reccee and will post up info soon.

If you are not able to make it when the date arrives, let me know on the Friday before the trip via either SMS or phone call. There will be no emg list as it's a full house.

Keep in mind that I'm running another trip the weekend after (SUNDAY 29/10) with the Brisbane LROC but this will be a little 'tamer' than ours as the LR's are more stock than our club current array of modified LR's :twisted: .

No probs Weeds, will confirm if a Sunday run is on the cards nearer the time....watch this space. As for camping $, don't worry about it if you don't come up Sat night.

If we do drive on the Sunday I don;t think it will be a big run, perhaps to lunch time or at least for me anyway as I will need to get home;)

Aye, Mick

[weeds]

a 1/2 day on sunday would be good enough, i'm hangin out to engage CDL and maybe the lockers

[LoadedDisco]

Well I have to pull out of this weekend due to the fact I need the weekend to look for work.
All have fun as I know you will.
Maybe in a year.

Hey guys

Looks like I'm working the whole weekend,scratch me off the list.

Sorry for the late notice.

Mick, Tomo will be day tripping it
No probs Trav, amended list above.


If we get time, might do the poweline track in reverse order :twisted: :twisted:
All over it Trav like a cheap suit. Thinking I might give big red a nudge this time as well with a bit of guidance and a winch capable car waiting at the top:eek: Probably shouldn't get too cocky eh before we even get there and will asses when we reach the bottom of it;) :D


scratch me off the list
Shame weeds, will maybe see you on the next trip.

[MickG]

For information, according to the weather forecast, Saturday will reach around 30 degrees C (will feel a bit hotter I expect in certain parts of the forest) and there is the chance of an afternoon storm and showers.

I suggest you take the above into account when packing the car - plenty of water (especially for the kids) and maybe some rain gear.

Sunday should be nice and cool with a top of 22 degrees C and a few showers - nothing major to note for Sunday and perhaps a car wash on the way home:D

See you tomorrow and looking forward to it:D

[stevo68]

Have fun peoples, plenty of pics, etc, wish I was there,

Okay so how about some pics and more importantly a damage report :twisted:
