Booking across ditch paid for.

A question. I have been told Rallywoods suits radials more than Simex.

True or false

Cheers Richard

do you need to pick up anything on the way or go straight there

either way let me know

I can meet you at Ferry and play convoy if the need be

[cool__bananas]

i think put me down on coming

[skid]

i think put me down on coming

so you going to lose your virginity soon

OK jokes aside, you bringing red truck or blue truck

[cool__bananas]

ur a dirty old man u r skid, the red truck is broken and the blue truck has a fresh motor, so i duno, or i could take my 80 and just put the 35s on it haha

[Bulletproof]

A few questions about Rallywoods that Janet wants to know.

Are there tent sites ?

Is the sleeping all on benches ?

What cooking facilities are there ?

We are trying to decide what to bring. I think I will drive up on the Simexs which means I will have room for other stuff.

Cheers Richard

Is the sleeping all on benches ? Sleeping platforms I think, mattresses available I think

What cooking facilities are there ? Dinner is normally cooked over an open fire, Curly is the man for that, chops steak, roast veges etc, Brekky is done either barby or hotplate over fire, I normally take my little white spirits cooker just incase. I think it would be safe to say that seeing as you are guests from the mainland, that you will not need to bring any cooking gear, you'll be well looked after by the Welly crew, just bring stuff to eat off and with, stuff to sleep in and on, and your done

what he said....will drag up the gas bottle for the hot showers, byo towels soap etc , a gold coin donation for the gas per shower if you use it would be appreciated (as they are now 30 bucks to fill....

plenty of room in the hut and plenty of camping space, i'll bring up a couple of 20L water containers as the rallywoods brew is not safe to drink....other locals may want to bring some up as well..... if you drink speights then bring your own coz we don't drink it

if its easier get supplies in welly on the way.... we can meet you at the ferry place.....

[safaripete]

ok after a few thoughts etc

im gonna head down for this will most likely only be sat at this stage as my mate is comin down and can only be there for sat but will see

where do you normally meet up? and what times?

will probably be convoying with badnuz but just incase im not some directions be good

cheers for making this happen guys

hes only mentioning this coz some of the locals think they own the road and drive down it at twice the speed of everyone else, so please be aware of speeding locals

[Bulletproof]

Yep............you will be able to show him some real diff busters eh jafa.

You have made me nervous, so this afternoon have started to pull both diffs out and check preloads and inspect for damage.

They haven't been out this year so a good time to check even though my new locker can't go in as the parts haven't arrived yet.

Cheers Richard

[Jerry]

bring meat (or horse steak if you are Taz01 ), veges bring a handful for yourself and we will roast on the big fire thingy, breakfest is usually bacon and eggs etc, so bring enough to sort yourself out as well as snacks and lunch for the aka's trip.....

don't forget plate, cutlery etc as well....

you may want to bring appetizers whilst the main course is cooking...., ands if you are bringing kids bring what they eat as well as we usually get them out the way first as they usually start whining that they are hubgry first

Are we having another chilli cookoff as well , as it appears its not clear that sadam won it..... , maybe have that as an accompanyment or a after dinner event....
