Putty Road Cruise

[Amaru]

The SAU Putty Road cruise is on the 17th September (Saturday) this year, and I hope some of you slackers will come along this time Me, Ewen and Shell went up last year and it was awesome.

Basically the plan is, cruise up to Sydney (Windsor) Friday afternoon and stay at Windsor Friday night. Go on the cruise Saturday (the meeting point is about 5 minutes away from where we stay) and stay up in the wine region Saturday night with some of the SAU guys, and then head home Sunday.

For those that dont know Putty Road, it runs from Sydney to Singleton and is masses upon masses of winding roads through the middle of a rain forest... very fun

Staying in Windsor Friday night, there are lots of restaurants, cafes, bars etc only 2 minutes walk away, maccas just down the road etc.

Its an awesome weekend, and hopefully some of you can make it up. More details will be posted in the general events section soon, so this is just to gauge interest so far.

Takes around 3 1/2 hours to get to Windsor so id say we'd leave around midday... on that note though, if you cant leave till 5pm thats not a problem you can meet us up there, its pretty easy to find.

sounds good to me i like others will be a more then likely on this one.

The hotel we stayed at last year is http://www.windsorterracemotel.com/

Not 5 stars, but has beds, tv and car parking so pretty suitable

I so wanted to go to this, then checked the calender and i've got my blackbelt grading that exact day... always something else on so i can't go, i missed the show n shine for similar reasons

[Amaru]

This is in less than a month, any more ideas on who is going? Myself, cassi, ewen, mark and shell are all definately going up. I provided the link for a hotel in this thread in Windsor, and the meeting point for the cruise is only 5 mins away in the morning.

At this stage we will probably leave around 3 - 4PM, and arrive by 7:30PM at the latest. Check into the hotel, then go and wine and dine at one of the many restaurants/cafes 2 minutes walk from the hotel.

It will be an awesome weekend, hopefully see some more of you up there

Love to go, but.... I'll have to use the ol' 'I got a wedding to pay for' excuse.... and besides I'm in the middle of a HTPC project and have also bought an arcade machine.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's a game(Super Real Darwin - Vertical shooter) that I spent way too much money on in my youthful days, and am also finishing off my MAME project.... I'd love to get a Initial D though

Sleeping arrangements for saturday night are whatever you make them as.

Me, mark, cassi and ewen are staying in Sydney city on saturday night. Our plan is head to Windsor on friday afternoon, cruise saturday and head back to Sydney saturday afternoon, party saturday night, head home sunday.

You can head straight home saturday if you want, can stay in hunter valley if you want, can stay in sydney if you want
