      I've only just washed my car :cry: Oh well, it was going to get dirty again sometime soon anyway so I might as well make it tomorrow

      Did you want to meet at either the Shell or BP servos on the highway? You guys probably won't be there until 10:15-10:30?

          I'm smart & haven't washed mine :wink:

          I don't know if Kenta was intending to go to Capertee & come in from the north side or come in from the south at Sunny Corner :?:

          Wait & see........

              I forgot about that way in, in that case we could just meet in Lithgow somewhere, like the Macca's car park unless you guys can think of a more convenient spot.

                If we come in to Turon NP from the north side we could meet you at the rest area on the left there in Capertee township, otherwise coming through the south side via Sunny Corner SF the servo at Mt Lambie may be the place to meet you. We'll wait for Kenta to come back.

                  hmmm, i have no idea tbh. i just kinda followed Glenn last time ops: .

                  so maybe just go in from the south side again. Jeff we'll meet you at Mt Lambie at 10:15am. (Glenn happy if you want to suggest otherwise. I didnt really think this through... I was just thinking of the steep climbs and rivers :wink: ).

                  Williade, let us know if you decide to come.

                  heading out now, I'll be offline until later tonight.

                      actually i was thinking of giving that a miss this time, too much wheel spin with poor suspension travel and no diff locker...
