Discussed this trip with Nick and the guys over the weekend, and pending confirmation when I speak to Sue in the morning, it will now go ahead on Sunday 21st September. Will confirm in the next day or so. :wink:

And yes Euan, we will have your gearbox changed over in the next weekend or too. Someone else has also kindly offered to come and give us a hand once we decide when we are doing it (A Sunday will suit us). :wink:

Not a problem, got 2 single beds in spare room, a couch that converts to double bed, a single couch for a smaller person, and a double air mattress, so should be plenty of room. Just all bring sleeping bags/bedding. :D

Costa Plenty is under a light covering of snow also, because the hills out the back of my place looking towards Costa Plenty are. :)

Badnuz should be on this next Costa Plenty trip also. We got his gearbox sorted this Sunday just gone with a changeover to a good 2nd hand one. Many thanks Dave for taking the time to come up & help me & Euan with it. Euan reckons it's heaps quieter than his old one, but looking at the sludge that "globbed" out of his old one, I'm not surprised!! 8) :wink:

Yeah Mark, 3rd Sunday from now. Mike is coming up for this too, as are quite a few others from Welly. Remember about that "being square" bit? 8) :wink:
