The car is packed..

[iceman]

.. and i'm ready to go!

Ignoring the constant rain today, the forecast is still looking quite good!

I won't be online until Sunday arvo sometime, so i'll catch up then..

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at Lostock, it should be a great time, cloudy or clear.

I'm going to have to spend the next 3 weeks processing the images I take, the photos I take, doing a writeup, etc. All during a very busy time at work! :(

See some of you guys tomorrow!

I pitched the tent in my yard on Tuesday. Just to make sure it was still in usable condition and it has rained ever since....at least I now know it's still waterproof. I just hope it stops raining by tomorrow morning so I can cack it up and get the flock outta dodge.

[Sausageman]

Hey Tony,
I am leaving home at midnight, to load up Erik's stuff and then go.
We will be going down the New England Highway, so if you catch up to a brand new Tarrago, loaded to the gunnels, give us a honk.

I have maps all the way to Lostock.

Mike.

[h0ughy]

I am leaving around 6.30 from home Ed, when are you leaving

[h0ughy]

arrive safe and well mIke :)

[Orion]

Around 5:30 but I have to stop of at Georges and then pick up two others so I don't know what time I'll get there.

[Sausageman]

PS Tony,

We will all eat well, I have all the stuff for the sausages, except bread/rolls.
10kg's of sausage meat will make heaps of snags, if I need more I can visit Gresford.
It's all in the freezer chilling down for the trip.
Who's bringing the onions?

OK I'll get them too.

See you there.

Mike

[Noidea]
