Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks to be the following trucks coming on Thurs night.

4x4boy
Aaron
Albundy
Hiriklux
Smokey
Shane???
Pigfmr???

Are we going to limit numbers on this?? I figure too many more trucks could make for a very late night (especially if the forecast is correct and it rains).

Who is taking on the role of Trip Leader???

I will put my name forward as trip leader unless you want to do it Mat, I think you started this trip off. As for numbers, I don't think it will be a problem we can just spread out and have a play. If it starts getting to late we can pull the pin and head back down . The trip is no big event just a chance to catch up and have a bit of fun prior to christmas.

EVEN FATHER CHRISTMAS LIKE'S TO GET DIRTY,

If you can make your way to the corner of Cashmere Rd and Worsleys Rd (near Hoonhay Rd) I will be there at 6.50pm to meet up with Monty. You can follow me up from there. Let me know, you may get a better offer yet.

Just had a look at a guy's site I know that has a weather recording station set up at his home.

He is based virtually at the base of Worsleys and he has recorded 31.6 mm of rain today :shock: :!:

As far as I know it only started raining at about 2 so that will make it fun :!: :!: :!:
