I'm in for sure.

27th is no good for me.Other dates i have no plans.

18 December got my vote - my first preference. Although I could squeeze in 27/11

im keen for any dates at this stage, ill keep an eye on this thread

18th dec is the only one i can do.

I'm taking Kate's Jeep, lets see how it performs against the Nav's!

So is it the 18th we are doing.

18th dec is the date i voted for ... guess i better check with the MRS ... nah ... i wont bring her on such a late date ... she'll be asleep by the time we start.

How is the head woody apart from the usual problems you have with it like looking in the mirror each day.

Absolutely, You won't need the snorkle, but a good set of driving lights and a UHF will make life easier.

I'm out, unless someone wants a passenger?. My sprained wrist from 4 weeks ago turned out to be a broken Radius bone. No wonder it was hurting so much to ride the motorbike. I Just got back from the Doc's, my arm/wrist is now wrapped in plaster, So no bush bashing for me until after Christmas.

If you can drive to Healesville you can come out with me if you like,that is if you can be seen in a D22

We are all amateurs.
As far as lights go they are not an absolute necessity as it is all slow speed but as Jase says make things a bit easier. A fark off big torch is most beneficial though. Sunset on the 18th will be 20:07 - twighlight to 20:38. So as per last night run through that neighbourhood I look to tackling the tougher stuff (passable in a standard vehicle as was Heata in the last one ) before dark and then tool around after dark
UHF. Handhelds from Dick Smith are more than ample to be able to communicate with other vehicles and have proven more reliable than costly hard wired UHF costing 6 times the amount. I have a spare one I loan to others on a trip and I believe Navarian has a pair as well. So speak up if anyone needs one.

Looks like 18th of Dec is popular but I will leave it open for discussion for another week.
No matter what date meet up at northern Yarra Glen servo at 5? Byo food and beverages.
