Thread: Coffs Harbour trip

Good idea, a thankyou to the Coffs Harbour blokes for there time is a good gesture.

Pub night also good, saves me cooking. Rest BYO, easier on all IMO

I like weeds idea for a Thank You BBQ for the locals but as for the rest of the meals, I would prefer to buy it on the run and use the time saved from cooking to do more driving.

Just a suggestion, plus I’m a ****e of a cook.

Cheers.

BBQ on the sunday is a good idea as a thankyou. As for the rest of the meals its up to the individual as I think the cabins and Villas have cooking facilities and we do have a communal bbq. As there are also wives and families coming along the idea will be to get a good balance between driving as well as a bit of socialising.

Thanks Justin.

Anybody bringing a GPS unit with them, just thinking it might be interesting to see how one work and how it can by put to use.

Tim I will have my small hand held Explorest GSP with me.

Meals I like the pub idea one night and a few BBQ's are also good.

I will have mygarmin etrex base model, I have an external antenna now so I should be able to navigate withheavy tree cover, the last time I was in coffs I got lost for half an hour or so when I was playing in and around rover trail was driving around holding the gps out the window for reception, withe fenders having a vertical windscreen the gps on the dash does not see much sky.

Thanks Craig and Kevin, I am thinking about getting one but have only seen them used in the most basic way, ( at the counter in a shop ) so I would appreciate seeing them working and seeing how well they do help.

Cheers and this weekend is shaping up to be a ripper.

PS. so far Coffs weather for Saturday is rain, could be VERY interesting.

I use a Garmen as a speedo and sometimes I try to look like I know what I am doing and can map the tracks we have been on. I will get the instructions out and have a look. Will try and remember how to plot the caravan park as a home point so at least we can get back to that point at the end of the day.
Whatever the weather it will be a good weekend away I,m sure

Regards Justin
