Wont be able to make this one sorry guys as I am working during the day then doing a night run with another forum up to the Pyreneese ranges on the Saturday night then working Sunday.

Hope you have fun and someone strikes it rich.

Got a time for Sunday Dave?
Blackwood pub?

 

[d22dave]

I,m easy, just not cheap. 10 or 10.30 earlier or latter i,m not fussy Blackwood pub or could do ballan at the roundabout

 

[digbyj]

Haha, I like it, just keep going round the roundabout til everyone turns up! If I do work I'll be done by about 9.30 so still could be a late entrant....

 

[d22dave]

When the hill billys come to town they get confused on them dar tricky circle things

 

[d22dave]

Hey Zoran,
I think my attendance is gonna depend on what time I finish work! Might be able to meet you on the way but depends what time you head up etc.
All are usually welcome on these adventures, just keep an eye on the thread for exact times and locations, and then let them know if you're in.
When u say "green" you mean gold panning or 4x4 or both ?
Should be a good day so hopefully we'll get there...
Cheers, Marcus

Ok this sunday 10 am at the roundabout in the main street of ballan. Items needed gold pan, shovel, yourself and lunch. I am taking a bbq others are welcome to use it. Will check maps again then post up where abouts for any late comers.

 

[navarian]

Sounds good,pick up my pan tommorrow.
Wifey might be coming along as well.

 

[Aido]

Good work Dave.
See you all there.

Zoran this will not be a 4x4 low range trip as such and you have nothing to be concerned about. Just a casual get together and having a crack at panning for gold. If you don't have a gold pan no worries I'm sure one of us can give you a go.
Bring along some lunch and a sense of humour.

 

[navarian]

Will i need to bolt my muddies on or is the going fairly easy?

 

[Aido]

Well if the GLW is coming she could drive her car....not sure how it would go with muddies on but it would be amusing!

 

[superiorcruiser]

so i take it you guys wont be swearing with the GLW,s along...
