Mt Buller - Wrap Up

[Al]

Firstly would like to give Hamish the biggest THANKS for taking the huge amount of time to organise the cruise on his own. You truly out did yourself buddy and everyone that came had the most awesome time.

In my opinion this cruise tops the GOR overnighter. I am not saying i wont go to GOR anymore, but i will look forward to this cruise more than the GOR, so i really hope this becomes an annual event; with different catering arrangements .

The only draw back was the heat and having to wait for a tow truck, in the sun, as it REALLY drain my energy, by the time i hit Buller Rd. Once i was on Buller Rd, i found that extra bit of spark to navigate those twisties; fark were they fun!!! Best bit of road i have ever driven and some of the most challenging corners. Hamish, we did alright mate . Next time round; better tyres, more front camber and we'll do better .

Then the walk to the summit to watch the sun set was great too; would have been better if we weren't a little late

Hamish the food was top notch man!

I was hoping for some good grub, but you turned on an exotic feast that woke up my taste buds. I really appreciate you taking the time to cook for all of us, especially knowing how buggered we all felt from being out in the heat all day. Next time we do this, we'll just hit the local pub or order pizzas, so that we could all just sit back, have a few beers and relax.

To all those that helped clean up thanks also; to the two that didn't do shit, lift up your game if you want to be invited to the next one!

PS: I want PICS!!!!

[Basti]

this is probably the best cruise/car related thing i have EVER done. Full credit to Hamish for the fantastic planning and especially the food! never had oysters before but i believe i am now hooked!

the twisties up the mountain were ahnds down the best roads i have ever driven, and the spur isnt too bad either. the climb up to the summit was a killer, and really highlighted how unfit i am. nothing another ciggie wont fix lol. definately will be down for next year and would be willing to fork out a lot more for the experience.

it was bloody hot, and im blacker now than i was friday night. however the car made it there and back fine. pics uploading now, and will be up asap.

well said Al, i couldn't said it better my self. But it was a bit of a shame that the numbers were low seeing the size of that house! Hopefully pic's and discussion will make alot of people who were down a few months ago see what they missed.

Epic weekend Hamish and Mel! You guys did a top job with everything, even Mel keeping us entertained with her other personality while Hamish was slaving away.

It was good to see you with a beer in your hand relaxing after all that driving and cooking Hamish.

Massive thanks from Vy and myself. We really enjoyed ourselves, the fact that you went out of your own way and pocket to set all this up this was amazing, i really hope your pleased with the result of your efforts

I totally agree, BEST CRUISE EVER

Huge thanks to Hamish for organizing this event

All those that didn't go missed out big time.

I will definitely be back even if the price is higher.

Next time i tackle Buller, I'll have better tires, wide wheels, a wheel alignment and way better brakes.

The smell and smoke coming from my brakes didn't give me any confidence.

Cant wait for pics

That was the best cruise I've ever been on, it was just an awesome weekend.

Your a CHAMP Hamish, THANKS for all the preparation and time you put into this cruise, you have made my weekend

And of course, thanks Mel for helping Hamish organise this event, and also for making me laugh so much over the weekend!

And for those guys that didn't end up making it, it's your lost, now you will never know what it was like

When I get back home tonight, I'll blur out the plates and upload some pictures for all you guys, got like 250-300 photos LOL.

to al, tj, vy thanx a million for all your help! it was sooo much easier with you guys there. and to everyone that chipped a few $$$ to help out thankyou sooo much!

cant wait to see photo's and already thinking about next years one!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

It's Mel, I just wanted to say thank you so, so, so much to everyone for a fantastic time. You guys were awesome to hang out with and Hamish and I really appreciated the help with cleaning up in the morning.

Special mentions to:

Al, for helping out and looking out for the other people on the cruise - you made things much easier!

TJ and VY - for doing the run to foodworks to get the bread etc to make the roast pork sandwiches.

Charles for being hilarious! I had a great laugh.

James and Jess - James you looked out for the cars during the drive up and made sure we all stuck together (you really love that CB radio) and Jess thanks for starting the dish washing with those pans!! Good luck with your exam!!!

It's a shame that a couple of people didn't lift a spirit finger and preferred to break dance instead....... Lift your game, it was disappointing that you were so selfish.

I can't wait for next year!!!
