Mrs ho har:angel:

[Utemad]

As you know I'll be up there already. We are camping with my wife's workmates so I should be able to disappear for a little while :angel:

Not sure if we are heading up Friday afternoon or Saturday morning yet. Either way I should see you all at some point on Saturday.

[The ho har's]

I thought having a BBQ at Queen Mary was a good idea;)....

hopefully you only need to look out for buckets loads of Landys;)......to find us:D



Mrs ho har:angel:

[incisor]

cant do on a saturday as i have the shop open half a day, sorry...

[extreme]

can't come either, working.

[Ace]

Just shut the shop Dave, you are the boss after all :D

Is there a BBQ with within a public BBQ area up there that we can use or is someone bringing one? Will we just need to bring some food?

[Killer]

Put us down for a tentative at this stage, and yes there are electric BBQs at Queen Mary Falls.

Cheers, Mick.

[The ho har's]

Now all we need is a few people to come :D

[WhiteD3]

Could be in it, just need to see how things pan out for the rest of the week.

[Outlaw]

Time changed to 8am with an 8.30am SHARP start as per Mrs HH's request :angel:

[Ace]

thanks outlaw much appreciated, are you coming?

[The ho har's]

thanks outlaw much appreciated, are you coming?


Prob not as he has a truck with no rear lights.........NOTE he has several vehicles to bring............hhhmmm Emerald would be nice with it's nice new flashing on top...............he will let me know:D


Mrs ho har:angel:

[Outlaw]

TBA :D although it has only been a year since i last saw you :angel:

[djhampson]

[Ace]

TBA :D although it has only been a year since i last saw you :angel:

to long mate, im getting Outlaw withdrawls :D:cool:

the list is starting to grow, good stuff. The more the merrier.

[inside]

Sounds good count our red FL2 in. Does anyone know if the rain we have had will affect the river crossings?

[WhiteD3]

Sorry, we're out:(.

[Utemad]

I'm sure the rain will affect the crossings. No idea how much though. It makes it more fun when they are high and they all have river rock bottoms so traction is good unless you drop into a hole.

We are heading up Saturday morning at this stage so let me know what UHF channel you will be using and I'll meet you at your bbq point. Hopefully it will be dry by then :)

Since there aren't many people on the trip you might be able to come back to our camper and use our cooker. Not sure what the setup etc at the place we are going to be will be like yet.

[Ace]

I am off to the airport after work, i might get time to check it before i leave, say half 4, but after that i dont know if i will get near the net to check the forum before tomorrow morning. So Mrs Ho Har if there are any changes etc and i dont respond can you ring my mobile 0428969828

Thanks, Matt

[Scallops]

Just for everyone's info - Kat and I drove up the CG track last Sunday - it was a total bog - lots of mud. We had the Mickey T's on so we had no dramas, but with all the rain of late it can only be worse this weekend.

There is also a sign which says "dry weather road only - closed in wet" or similar. Might pay to check if it's even open.

But have fun - sorry I can't make it. :)

[Ace]

we dont mind a but of mud, but if the road is closed thats a different story.

I will try and check the forum again in the morning from Cam's place but can someone ring me just incase if there are any changes. Thanks guys, im off to the airport in about 20mins, see who ever can make it tomorrow. Matt

Sorry but we can't make it now, other things have come up. Have fun everybody and say G'Day to Ace for me. I hope you all have a great time.

Cheers, Mick.

[Timj]

We were going to make it but things are a bit too wet for us at the moment. Have a great time if you get out there and hopefully we will see everyone out there again soon.

you big wosse:D:wasntme:.........check the radar it's only raining on the coast.......in last 24hrs Carr's Lookout where we are has had 11mm



Mrs ho har:angel:

[Timj]

Maybe so Mrs H but I was mopping up water from the room under our house at 3am this morning. We had a lot of rain come down in the evening and then after midnight it really turned on the tap and it just didn't stop for more than an hour. I think we have to get some serious drainage done since it seems to be underground water building up against the block wall and then seeping through as I have stopped all the surface water as far as I know. Though seeping is not necessarily the right word for the speed it sometimes comes in.

So when I said wet I meant here at home :p. Though you know I hate to get the Disco dirty :D.

Tim.

[djhampson]

I gave it a miss too.

Took me hours to get home last night, did a few water crossings too.

....and we had a lovely sunny and muddy day....great company and good food:D



Mrs ho har:angel:

[Ace]

thanks for a great day guys, and thanks to Mrs H for organising a trip on such short notice, the hospitality was typical of any AULRO experience, supurb. Matt

[djhampson]

Sounds like you had a good day but

[The ho har's]

Yeah Cam took his camera but i dont think it came out of the bag. :angel:

[Utemad]

Hi all.

Was good to meet you guys even if it was only for 10 mins or so.
Apparently there was a motorbike gathering at Killarney which explains all the bikes you saw.
Also the drizzle never let up. Packed up wet and have the camper open and airing in the driveway at the moment.

As for not wanting to get the Disco3 dirty. There were 3 or so guys in our group that did part of the river crossing track on mountain bikes!
They came back soaked and covered in mud spray but had a ball.

See you at the next one.

[The ho har's]

was greeat to meet you to Justin if it was only for a short time....now you know what we all look like so you can spot us again...

Cheers

Hmm.... I think I have to defend the D3's honour here. Justin, that was a very tongue in cheek comment :). MrsH has seen the D3 dirty and knows that I would not pull out for that. It was playing in the mud up at Beerburrum when it had less than 5k on the clock.

Though I must admit the thought of having to clean it up before getting it ready to go away for Easter wasn't a great thought.

Glad you all had a good time without us (sniff). But then like DJH said, no pics and it didn't happen.

Tim.

I knew you were joking. It's alright :)

I was still surprised when the guys all came back muddy. I thought they were going to do the bitumen thing. All dressed in their Tour De France looking gear. These guys are all 50ish. Came back like excited little kiddies :D

there is just something about mud that gets us all feeling like kids again. You are never to old to play in the mud
