Would prob be keen if nothing to serious as only have got round to fitting front tow hook yet and still on AT tyres.

You could also look at doing some of the scenic tracks around Banks Peninsula, Mt Herbet or around some of the bays etc.

Don't know who are the property owners etc you would need to contact tho.

Looking on the map shows heaps of options there.

Anything planned Elmo as im keen? Money is also going to a good cause.

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 5:55 am

I like Petes idea. Might not be overly 4x4, but, how about doing some of the "4x4" tracks that are listed in Ken Sibly's book on banks Pen?

Just a casual day, seeing the sights, and getting to know people.

Im sure other people know of some actual tracks to visit over there?

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 6:11 am

perhaps have a BBQ as well, bring the kids etc and have a cricket/soccer match or something.....

Disco-Blue · Post by **Disco-Blue** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 10:43 am

Yeah sounds good. What time you thinking and where to meet?

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 10:47 am

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 7:36 pm

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 5:19 am

At Petes place sorry, but Im sure a pub might be involved on Wed? :shock:

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 5:34 am

For those not going they can still donate $20 if they wish, does someone want to arrange this down there or hassle Mike into adding this to the ORE store?

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 5:43 am

Where and how do we pay it to the Anzac's?

Sadam_Husain · Post by **Sadam_Husain** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 5:55 am

might want to give your local RSA a bell, they administer all the donations

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 9:56 am

Ok, going to plan some simple tracks over Banks Pen. Will be very easy going, no real 4x4 at all, other than maybe 2 sections that maybe grade 2. So still easy going.

Will post details tomorrow.
