alrighty...

whilst the formal 'Tamworth Run' & 'Hunter Valley Run' are still in the pipeline i'm proposing a 1 day trip by the following route [or something very similiar] for Sunday April 25th [Anzac Day]...

* Sydney contingent meet @ ''Pie in the Sky' [say 8:30 am]
* to Kariong via Old Pacfic Highway to pick up Central Coast group [say 10:00 - 10:30]
* across to Singleton via Peat's Ridge / Wollombi / Broke [i propose a lunch break @ wollombi pub, great venue!]
* back via similiar route but this time through Branxton / Vineyards / Cessnock / Wollombi / Peat's Ridge

looking at somewhere just under 200km each way, & obviously we can reverse the to & fro trips if we'd rather hit the vineyards for lunch... but Wollombi pub has an excellent setup to cater for us!

please reply if you're interested!

Pending approval from the other half (who is currently sleeping

) I'm there

It will be another double points weekend, so some discretion will be required

A deviation to the vineyards for a "few supplies" wouldn't be a bad idea either

I'm flexible at this stage in terms of day, but Sunday would probably be the best in terms of minimising traffic ... Monday could get a little ugly on the return leg to Sydney

I am full of tricks and 'Splinter Cell' like stealth. Being short, Im easily looked past

Where will you be starting from? Will you be driving down to meet up, or would I need to get myself up near you?

poki · Apr 16th, 2004, 03:38 PM

You read my mind! I was going to suggest this very idea.

Definately in.

Will mention it to the coast club at go karting today.

Would prefer not to do it on anzac day itself but I will be there either way. If the husband figure chooses not to join us, I will be happy to have any passengers along.

gazah · Apr 16th, 2004, 03:38 PM

it'll really depend on the day chosen scotty, i'll be heading to sydney for the remainder of the weekend either way...

if it's saturday i'll be travelling down from tamworth & can pick you up on the way
for sunday or monday i'd be happy to pick you up at gosford or hornsby for the trip to 'pie'!

let's see how things go over the coming days!

gazah · Apr 16th, 2004, 03:40 PM

nice one poki... i presume the central coast mob enjoyed the last run?!?

ScottyB · Apr 16th, 2004, 03:40 PM

poki · Apr 16th, 2004, 03:44 PM

Yep, we all loved it. I know of at least two that were hoping something would be planned for that long weekend.

Might even head down to pie in the sky seeing you are not planning on leaving there stupid early.

gazah · Apr 16th, 2004, 03:51 PM

looks like we might have a winner here peoples!
