how much gear?

Hi Paul, how much gear do have in toe, if you could get up by train I could pick you up at the Tuggerah station on my way through but it would be early as we meet at the twin Servos just nth of Wyong at 830-0900 ( could pick you up at tuggerah about 0800-0815hrs if you could get there by then).

As far as food etc we usually stop for some supplies at East gresford where there is a Pub and an IGA type supermarket.

I'll leave it with you to decide, I do have a spare seat in the car and some space in the trailer. I will be returning on the sunday could give u a lift back to tuggerah

HI Steve

The dam is always a pleasant view to visit, there are a couple of wineries on the way and an olive grove type place although I haven't visited either, YET.

Dungog is on the vicinity and there is a national park neay by but i think it is 4WD only, again i have a pretty good idea where it is but haven't been there.

Haven't ventured to many other spots as i always BLine straight for the camp

Arthur

My mate Steve who is joining us at Lostock has a pair of binos that are out of collimation.
If anyone knows how to re-allign them, I am sure he would be grateful.
I may have a go at it if no-one else knows how to do it.

They are a decent aperture so its worthwhile trying I think.

Cheers.

geoffro.
