PC November

[Rick Petrie]

Hi Arthur
We are in Tamworth as you speak.
Chaffey dam area and Nundle is our old stomping ground as we spent many a time there while the dam was being built. Would be a great spot to camp and good skies. Definitely interested in a weekend up there.

Last time I stayed at Chaffey was about 2-3 years ago. Rates were pretty cheap: $2 camping per person and $1 hot shower each as well. We set up camp near the toilet block. Just watch out for the bindi's and if you're pitching a tent there's rocks everywhere.

I've got a bit happening in my spare time at the moment. All going well and weather clear I might see if I can make the PC this weekend for a quick visit. No promises though.

We are going to peruse it again soon, Geoff said him and Karen might come up for an overnight run and stop in the pub. Don't know if you and Lyn might be interested also.

Its futher than bretti but it looks great, freezing in winter though i believe, Jacob i think knows the spot, just have to ask Allan if he knows it also

Hi Arthur,
no, I don't think I know that one.
But always willing to try new experiences
Especially if it provides an excuse to go dark sky camping.
Where abouts is it?

...edit...
OK I see...Nundle?

I am currently in Charters TOwers.
Coming home the inland route.
I will see how far out of my way that will be?

Hmmmm..... Looking like near 100% overcast tonight.

It's not looking good, is it Greg?

My head cold is not entirely cleared, so I for one will definitely not be braving the elements tonight.

[Rick Petrie]

Yes...again cloud cover and no signs of clearing in a hurry, so unfortunately I will be pulling the pin.
It will have to clear some day, won't it?

Still a lot of cloud my way so I'll give it a miss as well.
Tony.
