I might be asking a bit with this trip being so close to Christmas and being a 3 dayer, but i want to do it before this year is out. Im capping it to cars maximum, to ensure the convoy keeps moving. Please have a fully stocked recovery kit and be self reliant with fuel and food. I will have a chain saw on board and we will need to collect firewood along the way. 

I will be filling my car up in Sale as well as taking some reserve fuel in a jerry can, id recommend we all do the same.

This trip is also subject to fire conditions. If there is even the slightest hint of bushfire danger, i will withdraw the trip. I will not be taking any risks with that. Its been a dry-ish winter up this way, so this is a real possibility.

Hey all. Tom do you think we’ll be at a camp early enough to do a spit. Doesn’t matter which night.

Mate, of course! First night would be the ideal scenario.

Hopefully the downpour this area received over the weekend, coupled with cooler weather for the next week or so reduces the risk of bushfires when we head up

Looking forward to it and thanks for organising Tom.

Welcome aboard mate.
Is everyone familiar with the meeting point?
As we are going to the high country, weather can change at an instant, so even with the forecast of warmish weather, a couple of warm items may be handy as well.
See you all Thursday 👍
