Stevo I'm curious which one you liked enough to use as a desktop. I really liked the ones where you were smoking the front tyre but there were some other good ones.

Tim.

Hey Tim...you guessed it...the pic of Smokey....smokin dem tyres up .

Shepp there are a couple of pics of you in Tims album and Im sure I have seen some others....though that could be the bloody flu I still have making me delusional.....check DJ Hampsons album as well,

Regards

Stevo

Thanks Stevo but the shots I'm after are the ones taken in the creek run that started just near camp and ended with the steep incline. Anyone? We did that one when you were still groaning in your tent from your flu?

Shepp if it is the creek run that we did last on the Saturday morning unfortunately the wheel lift photos I got aren't the best. I got some but it is hard to tell the wheel is in the air as it wasn't lifting all that high really.

This is probably the best one for wheel lift of your car.

Excellent trip guys, have been a bit busy back at work this week and haven't had a chance to comment yet. What a turn out and what a great bunch of people Some new faces as well which is always nice to see and the usual suspects doing their best to pass on some knowlegde as they go. A huge thank you to all the TL's and TEC's for helping run the various groups, could not have managed wthout you Thanks also to all who helped with the raffle, a decent amount of money raised with the club matching that again. An anouncement will be made at the next meeting about where exactly the funds have been donated and how much.

Thanks for all the kind comments re. organising this trip, although I will say I did learn a few things and next time each person will be issued with a running sheet for the weekends driving to include timings etc so we all know what the go is - was a lot of time wasted moving round camp figuring out who was going on what trip and who was leading etc. This sheet will also have all participants names on so everybody can say hello as they see everyone. A mega phone would be handy aswell to address such a large group, but all in all, things went fairly smoothly and by all accounts everyone had a ball

Apologies to those down the bottom end of the camp who were disturbed by the kids running around in the dust. I know I left my kids to run around on their own for a bit as that is what they love to do when we are away and you have to let them explore on their own sometime. Hope those down the bottom were not too put out and it was my intention to try and make sure those with kids were in one part and those without were in another...........try telling the kids that though They want to get as far away from mum and dad as possible Something I will bear in mind though for future trips to make sure everyone has as much fun as possible

Further, if anyone has any comments, concerns or suggestions to make about this or any future trips (however small), please take time to let me know via PM. It is aways my intention to run these trips as best I can catering for everyone in attendance and all comments are very much welcomed and taken on board for the benefit of all club members and all subsequent trips. Without feedback, I can only call it as I see it

Thank you again to all who came along and for making this our biggest trip in GCRLO history. Thank you also to all those who took time to take some video and photogrphs......will maybe see if we can arrange some kind of DVD or montage of some kind as a momento for those who were there.

Talk soon and thanks again for all your help and cooperation

Aye, Mick

Mick, I forgot to congratulate and thank you for organising this wicked weekend away.

I have a megaphone hidden in my shed somewhere (wow! what don't I have in the shed ) I will dig it out and donate it to the club.

Re the kids, I personally think it's part of the camp experience and welcome it. besides it would be hard to tell the kids they could not venture over to the swing set and trampolene over at the 'no kids' side of camp. Also kids (and stevo) give us something to laugh at from time to time

Hi Mick,

Dido from Busman/Lou & the ferals.
A big pat on the back for a fantastic well organized trip.
Also to Louis/Josh & bolts for their advise for novice 4wdrivers like us
We had a great time and learnt alot.
The D3 did the job without any damage, but some instances Lou & l
nearly **** ourselves on some sections, but we prevailed.
From a new comer to the club, thanks heaps guys and look forward to another GCLRO semi jamboree.
You made us feel welcome and will recommend the club to anyone.
Hope the screeming of number 3 gromit didnt unsettle anyone.
I have put together a small video which i have not been able to upload to the club site or Youtube, as file to large (300mb +)
I have also tried to email with no luck, so l will burn a copy to disk & add to anyone elses video footage .

Hi Mick,

Our kids have grown up but it doesn't mean we have forgotten what it was like . It was good to see the kids all having such a great time. We were talking about how much fun they were having with nothing but a few trucks.

So we were not worried by them, we were actually enjoying seeing them have fun.

TimJ.
