[Jaffas]

If I'm not busy, I will hopefully venture out to have a look as well.

[maddog]

[Antz]

I hope the Jeeps run at the start of the day cos I'll be there but will have to leave early.

[maddog]

2 will run in the morning, and 2 will run in the afternoon, that's the way it works.

Should be me and Craig in the morning, then Jumbo and Mark in the afternoon.

what's this???? you mean I'm expected to actually drive in it???? :mrgreen: :evil:

oh well at least I should be sober by then.... :mrgreen: :lol:

[ann]

I suppose Ill come... maybe.

Will there be ants? :shock:

[JP Mark]

What, you changed me to the afternoon??? :cry:

[maddog]

I haven't changed anything since I sent the paperwork in, so whatever I told you originally is the running order :)

Was it me and Craig in the morning or you and Jumbo? I can't remember now? :?:

[wiz]

still time left to build the "offroad esky" 8)

[maddog]

I didnt realise you only get 15 minutes to complete the entire Woodpecker track :shock: :shock: :shock:

[Antz]

Will there be ants? :shock:

:D :D :D :D At least one! are you bringing the picnic?

[Buddha]

Me and the kids will be there.

Wiz, dont forget the jerky. :wink:

[Goneforgood]

I'll be there.

Suppose it will be worth the drive down. :roll:

[Jumbo]

I didnt realise you only get 15 minutes to complete the entire Woodpecker track


Maddog I did the whole track track last year with a couple of minutes to spare.I had a couple of winches as well.It's all in the planning you sort of have to weigh up if it's worth the second attempt at the obsticle(if you don't make it on the 3rd your out so winching after your 2nd is usually the go) or just pull the winch out and take the peanalty..You have to be ready to make quick decisions on the day and keep track of time..not as easy as the Nissan Trials..

I'd prefer to drive in the arvo any how.

[Jeff]

I'll be pulling strings & bribing people to get there. Will try to drag the Tall Chick as well.

[JP Mark]

I received the 10 passes for SJC in the mail today so will have to organise getting them out to everyone somehow. So this gives everyone 2 passes each and 2 spares to do something with?

[Jimmyb]

yeah im flying down fish..........leaving on the friday night at 6pm

[sir_camel]

If you are struggling for something to do with the spare passes Mark i'll relieve you of one :D

[billsta]

i'll be there..
but need a lift...
anyone?!?!?!

[sir_camel]

U can have one Bill

[maddog]

You could give one to our excellent Nissan Trials team manager, who's likeley to be our photographer for Woodpecker :wink:

[ann]

Will there be ants? :shock:

If by picnic you mean a fridge full of beer...

Then yes, yes I am!

Im afraid of ants one bit me at the trials and my finger ended up the size of a truck! Ask Rache!

[ann]

[zzzz]

Hi there,

If anyone is heading up on the Saturday I sure would appreciate a ride from Sydney.
It is my work xmas party on Friday the 26th before the event, so I need to get to woodpecker on Saturday to meet up with Shane and the firetruck.

I am staying at the Siebel pier one I think but can make my way anywhere in Sydney to catch a ride :)

If anyone can help me out please let me know via PM or email.

cheers

Z

I was planning on staying at Dargle Ski park on the Saturday. Was also considering bringing the boat along to do some skiing on the Saturday if the weather looks like it will be nice.

[billsta]

i "might" be able to drive up there..
will let you know Z.
BUT i think im only going to go on sunday, however jumbo's offer is very tempting... :mrgreen:
where is Firetruck staying at on saturday night??
will confirm in the next few days or early next week.,

and thanks Camel fo rthe ride.
i might still need it, will let you know..

[ann]

So has anyone booked to stay at dargle ski resort yet?

[billsta]

no need for heavy duty equipments :mrgreen:

[Jumbo]

Good luck Ann I've been trying to get him to get on the back of the boat for years.. :mrgreen: I think he is alergic to water.. :lol:

[billsta]

[ann]

Aww thats really sad :(

Bill you could always come sit on the back of the boat with your feet in the water and a beer in your hand :D

Sounds nice doesnt it? I even promise not to push you in :wink:

[TIGGER]

Is this boat offer open to everyone or just poor deprived bill? If so i'll bring the wake board :mrgreen: **)

[maddog]

I'll just confirm 100% that I can get it from my parents place and get it towed up there for the weekend. I'm not sure if the TJ will be able to tow it, so will need to get the WJ to tow it.

Do you guys that have been there before think it will be safe to leave it there on Sunday while we compete? Where will you be leaving your boat Jumbo?

[Buddha]

I made a few bookings today to camp so we will definately be there.

[ann]

I made a few bookings today to camp so we will definately be there.

Cool Buddha, we'll book soon. :D

[Wooders]

Well I'll be doing a redeye runner over on Sunday Morning....bbers & BBQ...should be bloody excellent......Just remember No Glass!!

[maddog]

Hmm I'd better book too! Might ring tomorrow.

[Jumbo]

We have 3 Permanent caravan sites at Sackville Ski Gardens just around the corner from Dargle and will be leaving the boat there.We have had the sites for nearly 20 yrs and the locals kindly inform anyone that shouldn't be there to go away... :mrgreen:

If you want you can leave the boat on one of the sites,They have camping on site as well..

I wouldn't leave my boat un attended while I was doing the comp @ Dargle it's just too much of a temptation.. :| :shock:

[Jumbo]

or your more than welcome to drive around from Dargle, approx 10-15 min for a ski or 2 on the saturday..

[maddog]

OK confirmed we'll definately be up there early Saturday morning with the boat and spend most of Saturday skiing, then camp at Dargle on Saturday night.

I'll have to get your number Jumbo so we can meet you on the water.

[Jimmyb]

i dont know where i am staying :(

[maddog]

Why don't you book at Dargle as well, Jimmy?

[Jeff]

Still dont know if I can make it, if I do it'll most likely be an early drive over.

[ann]

Ok we are booked!!

The lady asked what club we were with and I said SJC but we are also pals with ACT Jeepers so she'll probably put us together :D

[maddog]

Ahh ok, so it's important that everyone says what club they're with when booking, so that we're all together.

[JP Mark]

I'll be coming in first thing Sunday morning - bright and early!

[maddog]

Where's your team spirit! :mrgreen:

[Tall Chick]

Still dont know if I can make it, if I do it'll most likely be an early drive over.

If I'm being 'dragged along' then I vote we stay the night before....that way Chook can catch up with the cowboy shots missed from the other day!

BTW - I don't need to be dragged to anything that has to do with the jeep (unless its watching Jeff & Jimmy working yet again under eithers jeeps!) :wink:

[wiz]

we is now officially booked @ Dargle for the sat nite

Buddha - you keen for some more "Absinth shots" :mrgreen:
