Mothy off here should be coming to, maybe his brother aswell.

My mate in the Wrangler is working so he is out.

Dave.

 

[sypher]

All set for tomorrow. Probably a stupid question, but should I be bringing any extra diesel or is a tank going to be enough? Not sure how far we are travelling or if there are servos up that way.

 

[Dave]

Fill up at Hexham, I have a 125L tank so Ill be right. Lol.

Dave.

 

[sypher]

I have a standard tank. Im sure if I run out, most others will be in the same boat!

[AJZ987]

[Dave]

Tony is out shopping at the moment, he said post it up and see everyone thinks.

If use wanna go ahead thats cool, I want a ride in Scotts Nav.

Dave.

Sypher (and Nevyn originally) were coming from Forster and would meet up with us @ Gloucester at 10:00am. Then it's a 2-hour drive out to Polblue - which meant we'd stop and start preparing lunch at noon, perfect timing.

To meet up at Gloucester at that time, we'd have to leave Heatherbrae at 8:30am.

Waiting an extra hour and a half puts off the arrival to 1:30pm. If some of us got there @ noon we'd still be chin-wagging by then and could fire up the cookers again, so how about:

Anyone that wants to see Scott's V8 can meet Scott and Dave at Heatherbrae at 9:30am and then continue up to Gloucester, then take the Scone road and meet us at Polblue at 1:30pm.

Everyone else can leave as originally planned - 8:30am departure from Heatherbrae, and 10:00am departure from Gloucester.

Dave, you haven't seen Scott's car yet and I have, so I'll take the group of early birds up to Polblue and you can bring the rest - sound fair?

 

[sypher]

Sounds good to me. Isnt Nevyn coming? How many navaras are we expecting?

Shaun

 

[Old.Tony]

About 10 to 11 give or take my pre-Alzheimers senility.

 

[Old.Tony]

God, there goes my feeble mind again.

Nevyn's looking good, it's Steve who's had to do other stuff. My apologies for confusing the issue.

Something else - you'll have plenty of fuel. We don't think we'll need to refuel at all tomorrow and we have a standard tank. If there's any doubt, there are a couple of servos in Gloucester. Not sure I'd go to the little one on the southern side of the shops. There's a Caltex a little further south near the hospital, and there's a Mobil (I think) west of the roundabout on the north end of town. Not sure I'd take a drink at the Mobil, it might be Mobil Products and that could mean biodiesel.

 

[sypher]

sweet, see you at 10.00am! Im off to watch the footy

Shaun

 

[Dave]

Tony I haven't seen it yet, my mate Tim (Mothy on here) will head up with me.

Will meet up with Scott before I head up.

Dave.

 

[Old.Tony]

Fair enough. Anyone else that wants to see Scott's beast of a D22 in the flesh can go up with you, and my wife and I will leave at 8:30am as planned.

 

[Dave]

Thats cool with me.

Dave.
