I will make sure I bring timber thats been treated very badly indeed Allan.

I may be able to purchase a trailer load of timber from my neighbours who are having a tree removed. Its pretty much dead, and has been for a couple of years now so it should be dry enough to burn.

I will try to get it for a song, but it may be the case of chipping in 10 to 15 bucks each for a trailer load of the stuff.( maybe 100 bucks a trailer full.)
I will keep ya posted on this.

Not long now. Getting excited to get away and regain some scruples.

[Allan_L (Allan)]

I have a trailer we can use if someone's got a spare towball. ( and towbar, and vehicle for towing)

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

Thanks Rick and Geoff.
I could use Ricks Trailer and take the timber up there.

The timber I had planned on getting, was turned into woodchips today by the tree removers. At least I can get some Mulch from the neighbours now, as the pile is huge.

OK well we will work on Ricks trailer and your wood Geoff and me taking it there.
Sounds like a plan to me.

All sorted.

cant wait....

[Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin)]

RIPPER!!!!! I knock off work on the Wednesday morning so will be able to travel up on wednesday instead of thursday and have another night up there.

Once up there i can also do a peruse around for some more wood and get the campfire spot sorted out (2-3 mtres in diameter????)

Where do we want to set up this time? where we were last time or on the flat area near where Allan was if it is vacant??

Yes, getting more excited by the day.

[Allan_L (Allan)]

So, what about my wood?

[Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin)]

How much do you have Allan, could i pick it up and take it over to Geoff"s place so that it travels in the trailer??

[Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin)]

I can also probably carry some long lengths of wood on the ladder racks of my trailer if necessary but they would need to be over 1800mm long

Probably an armful or two.
Yet to be de-nailed and cut into shorter lengths

or i can leave them as long bits ?

[Allan_L (Allan)]

I can bring them, I just wanted to make sure they were still welcome

[Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin)]

My word they are Allan, The more the merrrier as it were. I just suggested that in case you needed a hand to get the wood up there. ( not going to waste time with a chain saw again)

I am just wondering whether i need to take the weedeater again. I have a new hand saw in case we need to cut up any wood.

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

Geoff/Rick

bring the trailer to my place as soon as you can
i will cut and fill in at the same time

geoff

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

Your wood is most Welcome Allan,

I may also go up a day early with you Arthur and setup.
Personally I liked the spot we had last Summer near the "Loos".
It was flatter and a better spot for setting up scopes etc.

And Geoff, that sounds great, if I could pick up the trailer from your place....that would be no trouble at all.

Woooo Hooooo....

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

just looking at the temperatures for Bretti this week

any body had experience of cooking breakfast AND tea in freezer suits

looks like the only time we will not have them on is between 10 and 4 during the day

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

the saw is set up and i am ready to cut wood gentlemen

geoff

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

When Rick gets back Geoff, I ( or he ) will get the trailer over to you for filling up with that precious firewood to keep us warm. By the sound of the temps. we will need heaps to get warm.

Thanks mate talk soon.

Geoffro.
