I'll be there. With bells on

As long as there's fairy bread

My Stag will get another wash.

[Hanso]

Looks like I should be able to come, my boss told me I am not going to Townsville.

Scratch that, I got told today that I am now going to Townsville and I'll be away for the 22nd. Bugger!!!

If you want a hand with route recce's beforehand, I'm more than happy to help out.

[rb26stagea]

Ok, so here's the issue as I see it: The recce runs aren't so much a problem: I have nothing but time on my hands these days, so I am able to go far and wide to find some good roads if needed, and there's been plenty of offers from you Northern guys to do the same...

The endpoint is important: I've been on a few cruises now, and it's the endpoint that generally makes or breaks them: the last one was good because it was free of any public/crowds, had bathroom facilities, shade, and plenty of seating...

Those of you who were on Darrin's go-karting cruise would agree: the endpoint in that one was great for the same reasons (and it had pluto pups and go karts as well!!)...

I am more than happy to organise another southern run, finishing either at Myles' place again (assuming he's ok with that), or my place.... Alternatively you Northern folks can start putting some thought into suitable places to finish up, and we'll do the whole shebang up your end...

Let's aim to have a decision made by the end of the month: that way we have plenty of time to finalise the route, etc... Shade will be especially important for this next cruise, as it's not going to be getting any cooler in the near future....

Sweet I'm on holidays from 14th - 29th Nov. Should be in on this one as I missed last years.

[mattye]

Bump.

Micha any news yet?

[danMcd]

ONE MONTH !

[66yostagea]

I'm going in for a shoulder reconstruction on Nov 9th, I am not allowed to drive for a month, doctors orders, so no insurance etc. If my L plate son thinks he can handle it I might get there, otherwise its wait till the next one.

When the route is laid out my son and I can do a test run so he knows the way.

[rb26stagea]

At this stage, it looks like being down this way, if not the same run we just did (but in reverse, maybe?)... Since I have stupidly promised a mate to run his business for him while he traipses around Europe, I'm way too busy to do a Northern recce run, but will see if I can find another interesting route locally...

That is of course unless someone else has done some groundwork up North??
