[Noidea]

Hello all, here is my contribution. I took some pics of the camp sites standing on the hill on Saturday night. Maybe these could also be joined. Please PM me if anyone want hi res copies. In the large pics you can see quite a few scopes in the camp.

You gotta love the first one of Mike.:rofl:

[janoskiss]

Thanks for the piccies, guys! It looks like you had a ball! :)

[iceman]

haha nice shots, love the one of me flying out of the tree!

That swimming hole was excellent.. many manly challenges trying to see how far we could climb up the rope :) My fingers are still sore!

[astronut]

To all the members that went to camp, It certainly looks like you had a great time, Mike I think you should change your name to Tarzan:lol: . Photo's are great, they add a personal touch and help us that were not there to feel like we were.:) . I hope to be there next year. Cheers, John:nerd:

[ving]

DON'T TRY THIS ONE AT HOME!!!!

great pics everyone :D

[iceman]

Here's one of the group photo shots.. I'll try and get a better version from hector's camera and if there's interest, i'll send the hi-res version to those that want it, or print it out for distribution.

[frogman]

hey mike... can you break the posting rules and post the full sized one for us please

[iceman]

I'll upload it later anthony. It didn't turn out as crisp as I'd hoped so I want to see if hector's photo turned out better.

[ving]

so how many ppl were there?
(no i am not going to count them :P)

[iceman]

All in all, almost 100 people booked. Not sure how many were in the photo, as some went home on Friday/Saturday before the photo, and others may have been cooling off in the creek :)

[Noidea]

Hi Mike Lol, Yes the rope challenge was fun, and my fingers still hurt as well. Maybe next year that could be one of the novelty competitions, ha ha. Let me know if you want all four of the shots I took of you.

[davidpretorius]

well done to the organisers and participants that made it a success

[danielsun]

Great job to all the orginisers and everyone invoved! i'm really enjoying reading all the write ups and photos. It surely seems that everyone had a great time!!

[janoskiss]

I wish I'd been there! Well done everyone! Weather down here was a disaster for our new Moon w/e. :(
