All systems go. All batteries charged for a long haul. Will see you all at Lostock no matter what.

Rick Petrie · #**262** 29-10-2008, 03:27 PM

Just packing in the rain now! I hope this is not a bad omen?????
Geoff,s----
Inmy, I am hoping to get out of my driveway(concrete warranty strip)

about 8:45. Can meet you here or wherever.
GTB, Isn't it quicker to go along Tumbi Rd to Tuggerah. It would probably be better for me towing the van and not go through Gosford or over Mt elliot to Ourimbah, but can catch up along the way, maybe Wyong servo's.
Cheers

Lookin' forward to it.

Deeno · #**263** 29-10-2008, 03:38 PM

Somethings come up which may delay my departure.
Haven't decided what to do yet as I really don't want to arrive too late in the arvo.
Really looking forward to seeing everyone

GTB_an_Owl (Geoff) · #**264** 29-10-2008, 03:51 PM

twin servo's would be fine as a meet up place Rick

my tom tom tells me shortest way is via wamberal, back down and over mt elliot to ourimbah - go figure ?

i have to get my gas bottle filled and the little servo at ourimbah is cheepest i'm told

How long would it take to get from the twin servos to Lostock?

I ask because I'll be coming thru there too, leaving sydney right in the middle of peak hour tho, so probably won't get to the servos till more like 10 - 10:30.

Astrod00d · #**268** 29-10-2008, 04:14 PM

Car's all packed, food, beverages, camping gear and imaging rig all ready to go. I plan to leave Sydney around 9am, arrive Lostock early afternoon. Here's hoping the weather clears up! See you all there.

Cheers,

Rob

alexk13 (Alex) · #**269** 29-10-2008, 04:16 PM

Hey Rob, I'll be on the road at the same time as you, dropping the wife off at workabout 8:30, then heading off from there. Camp gears all packed, haven't packed the scope yet, gotta go shopping first - leaving the wife at home for 4 days with only motorbikes as transport, and she doesn't have her bike licence

Speaking of which, I now have to go pick her up from work - i'll be back later

GTB_an_Owl (Geoff) · #**270** 29-10-2008, 04:26 PM

agh! - the excitement of it all

you packed yet RB ?

geoff

Matty P (Matt) · #**271** 29-10-2008, 04:45 PM

I'm all packed and ready to go!

See you all there!

I will give the scope accessories to Gary K.

Hi all,

Due to the hospitalisation of two family members this week and my likely need to be in Sydney at the hospital until after lunch on Friday, I will be struggling to get my 18" Obsession to Lostock for IISAC 2008. I fully intend to get myself and son Jake there by 7:00pm Friday night, but unfortunately I don't think I can get a scope there. This will leave us with only one 3RF scope, the 18" Obsession that Gary Kopff is bringing. If anyone can help out by transporting Andrew Murrell's 25" Obsession from Umina on Friday and bringing it home on Sunday morning, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
John B

Rick Petrie · #**273** 29-10-2008, 05:13 PM

It should take 2hrs or just over from the twin servo's just north of Wyong to Lostock.
Cheers see ya there.

Inmykombi (Geoff) · #**274** 29-10-2008, 05:17 PM
