Arrangments for leaving from my house to afr

[Jockney Rebel]

ok heres the details for blast off 2009 [as usual suggestions welcome]

this if for the people leaving from my house at woy woy
itinery as follows:
thurs 2nd april
1.00am leave woy woy[gas up before we leave chaps/chapesses
4.00am arrive Port mac fuel stop and short rest[our car with a trailer will have a range of about 250-270ks]
4.30am leave Port mac
7.30/8.00am arrive Grafton breakfast and fuel
9.00/9.30am leave Grafton
10.30am arrive Casino airfield

so far we have in our little convoy;
me[jockney rebel]
the missus[the missus]
the son[mini me]
Andy[the weazel]
Sal[the merlyn]
Lance [the fight fan]
Chase[ the chase]
Brodie [the brodie]
and possibly Phill[the phill]
thats 3 bikes ,3cars ,and 2 trailers we reckon it makes sense for the bikes to sit between the 2 lead cars as its safer at night and i expect them to peel off at sun up,obviously the bikes will have to gas up more often then the cars
the timetable is not written in stone but allows for a margin of error/delay

its 659 kms at an average speed of 80kph gives us 8.5 hours roughly
we should have a pretty straight through run with no traffic [the reason for leaving at stupid o'clock ......also this route has major road works on it so getting to Grafton fairly early avoids getting caught in them during the rush hour and gives us a nice run on the Summerland way straight into Casino

Is there somewhere I can buy a cheap tent in WoyWoy? Never been there b4!

[Seifer]

I may be in. Is there any chance someone has room for a sleeping bag and tent in their car?

[fimpBIKES]

[Weaselman]

Might have room in the camping trailer mate

[Jockney Rebel]

[Brodie]

Jim can you please print out the itinerary, laminate it please and have it ready for us all when we get there so none of us go over the allowable time limits you have set us. ;) Have you factored in two hours for whinging and moaning and pee breaks? Your really not thinking of the ladies here.....HAHAHAHAHAHHA

[Weaselman]

fuck that sal is going in a bottle and the boys can piss out the window

[Brodie]

Pity the guys on the bikes behind you then.....remember boys....that's not rain.....and close your mouths LOL

[Jockney Rebel]

ok zen za vhinging und za moaning can be done on ze road ..no time loss zere und as for ze pissing...dont drink so much ..

seriously tho its just a guide.... but we really do need to get to grafton before 7am otherwise well get caught in horrendous traffic and be sitting fuming behind the wheel of a car for hours ..after grafton its a breeze hence the long breakie break

Im tryin to avoid occy strappin a tent to the back of my bike, if I can buy one from a store of some description in woywoy it'd make my life easier! Thats all I was on about, never been there so I dunno whats available! Otherwise I'l jst buy one here...;)

[Seifer]

I might just drop my gear off on tuesday night to make it easier if that is ok.. Jim, how far is woy woy from Syd city? Is there room at ur joint for 1 more or shall I just meet ya'll on route?

[Weaselman]

bout an hour traffic permitting mate

[Bear]

I'll have room for tents etc on my trailer but I won't be getting up til late Thursday night at this stage (bout 11pm). Am trying to get away earlier but it's not likely at this stage.

[Jockney Rebel]

siefer theres always room specailly seein as we wont get much kip lol
lance do you want me to get you a tent and sort me out whenyou get here ? give me a budget the 4 manner i got from aldis was ace for 79 bucks

[Fight_fan]

U sure Jim? What did $79 get ya? If that was a tent + a sleepin bag that sounds gr8!

[Jockney Rebel]

nah 4 man tent but a good one and the sleeping bags are the nutz for 29.99

[Fight_fan]

I'l let ya kno Jimmy... I have no real use for a 4 man, its too exxy to leave in Casino n I have a giant 3 bedroom one @ home! Was thinkin a small 2 manner will do the trick!

[Jockney Rebel]

ok spotted some at adollar shop toady dunno how much tho

[Weaselman]

[Jockney Rebel]

'k off...lol
