Longitude and Lattitude anyone ???
I trust in the fates and GPS navigation !

anyone done a head count?

Weather report is fine for one and a half days at least.
Hope that carries over into the nights too!!!

Mike has good direction details of the drive on ISS

Whereis and Travelmate have maps/ directions you can make and print out.

Most GPSs can find it, use Paterson River Road, Gresford as your starting point and just drive for what appears tobe an eternity (it's not really).

When you reach the turn off to the Dam (don't take the turnoff) it tells you a) you're on the right track and b) you have about 6-7 kms to go

For those with UHF CB, Gresford has a repeater on Channel 8 (duplex) so give us a call if you want as the channel will be monitored all weekend.

Thankyou Arthur

Nobody has done a head count as yet to my knowledge and i am not sure whether one is necessary at this stage, i do know that some are taking their own bedding tents / vans etc (me for one if it is needed)

As we are supplying our own tucker and drinks should be no dramas (but we must be mindful of murphy's law).

Remember that lostock has no mobile phone coverage or landline therefore communications is not possible although there is a public phone at the Caravan park, satelite phone or CB might be the only way to go

Thats a mighty long phone number there Geoff.

What time would you like to meet at the Twin servo's ?

About 9.30 10 ?

Geoffro.

GTB_an_Owl (Geoff) · #95 20-04-2009, 09:33 PM

do you expect me to be even out of bed at that time geoffro ?

but i guess if you insist - 9 / 9-30 sounds like a good time for a coffee

and NOoooooo - it's not a phone number

Allan_L came round for a fitting to-nite - and we made sure he won't be cold on the weekend

Good one Greg!

At last a bit of favourable news.

May be worth the trip up afterall.

But I dont think I will be in the 9:30 at Twin Servos group.

Here's hoping
