Map of the route

You can print the directions off there, I will have a few copies. I know the roads fairly well, I live at Samford.

Feel free to discuss the route, there isn't too many options, it's either short or long. This one is 200kms (just over 2 and a half hours + stops). The stops aren't pre-determined at this time, but I was thinking of at least stopping at Jolly's Lookout, Somerset Dam and somewhere on Mt Mee (if we can fit all the cars).

Add any suggestions here and post here if you're in (and if you have passengers), I'll update a post with participants.



Edit: We shall organise this for another time.

Can i sugest a stop after going down the back of glorius as the brakes can get kinda warm going down there.

Count me in. My Polo is yet to have it's arms and legs properly stretched yet after all the little assortment of parts.

Tentative. Our old MK1 Golf is being collected that morning (you forgot Justin!), but we might postpone it.

Sounds good.

I should also be able to make it.. although will have to find someone to look after my son as I don't think i can keep him entertained for the whole drive

Will get sick of him asking if we are nearly home yet. will find out by next week whether i can find a sitter.

Just recieved a message from Jon - his car is getting parts installed on the 12th, so his GTI will be out of action. As for the MkI to be picked up, we're still awaiting a response. So we'll have to see when the MkI buyers arrive with their towie.

Is he getting a tissue box installed? As if you wouldn't make it another date because of this.


Eddy, Dave... where are you?

[shaneth]

Honestly, I'm not that interested in coming anyway - it's no different from any other drive so I've got no problem in missing out. So shove your tissue box!
