Thursday night, before you go.)

I won't be bringing up my lady friend I'm afraid .... she has to work.

.... and I really did want her company too .... oh well.

So that means I will leave Sydney about 10 - 11am on Friday Morning ... will get up there in the afternoon.

Well ....home again. Thanks for a great long weekend everyone. I had a great time away. I like this time of year for observing, it offers a lot of different stuff to see.

Work tomorrow.


Oh before I forget.

There was an orange work type jacket left behind at the house when we were packing up.
It could belong to Ryan I we think.

I have got it at home ( just me size too....what a score... )
So if you are missing one, let me know and I will take it to the PC next time.

Cheers to all.

another great weekend away guys - thanks for putting up with me.
special thanks to Geoffro for playing taxi

two ordinary cloudless nites (probably below average actually) and one cloudy nite that rewarded with a couple of good breaks for those that stuck it out.
totally enjoyed myself and the company again - these trips of ours are great.

hope everyone got home ok

These are turning out to be an excellent repolarising event to recharge the batteries as it were.

Thank you all for a great weekend i look forward to the next. If only other guys could get involved in the opportunity we have.

Hey fellas, thanks for the company and a great night. It was great to finally get some light into El Tubo Grande again! Geoffro that's my work jacket mate, I knew I'd forgotten something when I got home, I had this forboding feeling but couldn't work out what i'd left behind! I'll grab it off you at the PC next time.
Cheers guys!

Hi guys, just a note to let you know that I made it home safely. I enjoyed the weekend very much and as some of you were aware, I ride motorcycles and am use to writing up reports at the end of some of our weekends.

Here is my report for the Lostock weekend.

Enjoy

Steve
