[VR6child]

x2............

[Jarred]

Alright you lot, pick a date. This weekend is the 9th and 10th.

When is everyone free?

and as for location, up to the chocolate Mill perhaps?

[Tim]

im out this weekend. keen to go 17th if soemone wants to organise something

[blutopless2]

best thing to do is probably just pick a date a few weeks away so that people have plenty of time to reorganise etc....
im out this weekend as i'm on call for work and painting at home also... so in the next coupla weeks will do me.... nicer weather should be approaching too.
happy to cruise anywhere...

[VR6child]

cant do this weekend, maybe set a weekend date later in the month?

On the 8th June some of the guys on Golfmkv.com did a cruise that might be of interest.

The Google map of the cruise can be found on page 2 of the thread, post #43.

Cruise 24th august

I guess I am gonna bite the bullet and suggest the 24th August hopefully everyone has enough time to get organised by then?

any suggestions of routes?

cheers

[VR6child]

if possible could we make it a saturday?

[Ben_GTI]

Ya I'm down for the 24th

I think we could do a great ocean rd cruise or the one off the MkV guys page. I only recently did the Reefton Spur run.

Either way I reckon leaving early will be the key to avoid the Sunday drivers.

1. Great Ocean Rd (4.5Hrs)

Don't be scared by the times. I find when I go on a cruise, the google driving time also includes enough time for me to have lunch, snacks and walks along the way

[blutopless2]

both look good.

[Ben_GTI]

Okay Andymancandy,

I have arranged my copilot for a run on the 24th. Just pick which run you want to do and maybe make a new thread with the details and title.

[nemo]
