I cant get there this weekend ( 12th ).

My Dad is coming down from Qld. for a visit, and staying a few days.

Maybe the following weekend.

Hope all you folks heading up there have a great time. But dont use up all the fun for those heading up the next weekend.

Cheers.

This weekend's a write off for me. Running a marathon on Sunday. The following weekend is a maintenance weekend at work and I'll be working. :S

See you boys at Lostock.

Regards,
Humayun

I'm planning to test my Argo tomorrow.
Hope to have some company at the PC!

Who is unlocking the gate?

@ Geoff....change the AA's in the weather station mate.

Well looks like I will be there, I want to get my Argo Navis setup on the EM200.

And the arm twisting from Rick and talk of stogies had nothing to do with it.

Hey RB. From the coast it looks a bit smokey up the mountain way. What's it like up there? Where is the fire in relation to you and the pony club? How is the smoke affecting visibility? It'd be good to get a 'smokey' update throughout tomorrow some time too.

You beat me to it Tony, I was actually going to post about it tonight.
It got quite smokey up here this arvo, I don't know where this fire is or whether it's a backburn or a real one.

Seems close in any case.

I'll keep you posted tomorrow.

Hey Tony, I think all the smoke is RB doing a back burn on one of his stogies!!!
RB is definitely, in this case, the right man for the job to give us updates.

I can get there about 5:30 ish, Ryan.
I don't know what time Mr Owl will be there, but could we arrange to pick up the red hats off you Geoff, if your watching this space, and get the number to ring the guy to kill the light on his house. Ta mate.
Will also have to keep an early update on the smoke situation before heading up.
Cheers Rick

G'day Rick, sounds good. Pending a good 'smoke report' I'll be there probably 4.30 0 5.00 or so.
