WATAGANS O'nighter 6-7th May

[Brendan]

Hi guys just putting a little feeler out there, if anyone would be interested in getting together for dinner and a night drive sometime in the coming months. Seems like the Mexicans have a ball doing this so it should be fun :)

Any suggestions for where to go for dinner or wheeling, please post em!

Sounds like a good idea.
It may be one of my last outings with the NSW guys before I relocate to Qld (not that I won't be back from time to time for the occasional trip)

[Chester]

Im there

[Chester]

Brendan

We could do dinner at the Spur as it is pretty central as for a drive wouldnt have a clue

[Bellie]

Im up for it

As for any other details im not goin to be much help, dont know that many places.... But it does depend on what sorts dinner you want eg restaurant, cook your own

[Brendan]

Good stuff! I figure everyone would rather just sit down and eat somewhere rather than have a barby, but it's up to you all. The Spur is the steakhouse on Victoria Rd at Rydalmere next to the family inn isn't it?

What if we were to do a night drive on a Saturday out at Lithgow... nowhere really else that will be suitable. We could find a nice place to eat around that way on Saturday evening, go driving for the night and come home early Sunday morning or whatever.

What does that sound like?

[crusher]

If your looking at going as far as Lithgow Brendan what about having dinner at one of the clubs up here on the Central Coast.

Wyong Leagues, Doyalson RSL etc all have reasonably good restaurants and are not far from Watagans.

You could then head out to the Watagans from there. Maybe swag it and make it an overnighter at one of the camping grounds. OL had a night drive up there a few weeks ago when we did our last trip

[Brendan]

Yeah that's true mate. Let's put it to poll. What do you all reckon?

[Mick.]

Yeah that's true mate. Let's put it to poll. What do you all reckon?
So like a good idea to me. When are you planing doing this? After the Tough Trucks sometime or before? ???

Cheers Mick.

[Bellie]

Pretty much im up for anything. Ill even eat maccas and then go 4 a night wheel. As long as its not like last time..... My truck met some wildlife (No not greenies)

[Brendan]

bump to top

Imagine doing Whitemans lane as a night drive (before they close it).

[Brendan]

Oh, and it'll more'n likely end up being after TTC -- seems everyone is pretty busy until then. Chester's in Melbourne, I'll be off to Bushranger Clubkhana and Son of Trials. Plus need to save a little drinkin' money for the weekend!

[GUHOON]

Sounds like a good idea Brendan ,
central coast area would be good as its not too far from sydney or newy :)

[Brendan]

Yeah I'm liking the idea of Central Coast as it is fairly central. I reckon we could put it on the Green Beast to lead a trip through there? See how it turns out

[MazDan]

sounds great..........lets do it.

[Mick.]

Steve told me the other day that he would come. So i'm sure he wont mind leading. :D

Cheers Mick.

[Bellie]

So we planning on camping up there over night or comming back out?

[Mick.]

[Bellie]

[Brendan]

You're all a bunch of jokers aren't you 8)

Steve's C-grade tracks are A++++

Anyone wanna pick a date? Or pick ya date, either way

[Bellie]

[Mick.]

Thats Easter, Steve and I wouldn't be able to make that due to another trip we are going on. :D

Cheers Mick.

[The Green Beast]

Ok then Mick ::)

Steve THE GREEN BEAST

[Mick.]

Ok then Mick ::)

Steve THE GREEN BEAST
It would be a little hard to lead to trips at the same time wouldn't it. :o

[Brendan]

i sometimes worry about you central coast patrol drivers, ya seem to always be going off in the bush somewhere!

that date isn't good for me either unfortunately, i'll be in bathurst for W.E. ROCK

[Mick.]

How about the 6th and 7th of may? ??? That gives everyone a bit of time to get over easter and get organised. :D

Cheers Mick.

[Humpy]

Yeah I'm liking the idea of Central Coast as it is fairly central. Hence the name ;)


Im up for a night drive, where ever, when ever, except I'll be at WE Rock too probably

[Brendan]

lmao humpy ya smartarse.

ok what's everyone's thoughts on mick's dates? it sounds good to me. i guess the other thing is i was originally thinking of it being just a night drive but if we're gonna camp as well do we make it a full weekend? i.e. meet up saturday morning?

[baby_troupe]

Ya should be able to at the moment.
Mine has a faulty front hub, so without the front locker in, has only been 2WD.

Thats cause we love it Brendan ;). When you have a playground like the Watagans in your backyard you use it. Although with all this talk of closing tracks etc it mightn't be for much longer

[feno]

i'd be keen for a night drive to. Me and the JEEP never done one before. Whens it happening?????

[Mick.]

We will let Brendan sort that out. It will be some time after the Tuff Trucks though.

Cheers Mick.

Good one Mick, can't wait for the warriors reply to that one ;D

I will go if the dates work out OK for me

[GUHOON]

i probably won't be able to make both days but will go one day out of the weekend hopefully (if nothing else on and if im allowed to , pregnant women are scary :P)

[simonsurf]

I like Micks date :o Did I just say that ??? Sometime in May sounds pretty good. Morriset Bowlo for dinner? Or maybe Maccas at the twin servos?

[The Green Beast]

WHO is leading the trip ??? and the grade of tracks you want to do :P

[Humpy]

WHO is leading the trip ??? and the grade of tracks you want to do :P


You :P

and Id say C & B grade tracks, for example the Zig Zag

[The Green Beast]

I would like to lead ;)zig zag it wooooooood be a good one to doooo :o

[Humpy]

In the dark you couldnt see how close you come to falling down the hill, wouldnt be scary at all ;D

[Mick.]

Thats what I was thinking. ;D What you cant see wont hurt you. ;)

[The Green Beast]

USE the force young JEDI ;D

[MazDan]

Oh crikey, I hate bloody cliffs.

Meah...........if it doesnt kill me then i will be cheering.......so i win either way..........lol.

Bring it on.

6 may sounds fine.

[Bellie]

Ill be there, depending on the dates anyway. Hopefuly ill have some bigger rubber on by then

[Brendan]

Yeah I only said that because I felt left out! I wanna be a suspect Central Coast Patrol driver! ;D ;D ;D


And Simon, that's a classic quote there mate. I ain't lettin anyone forget that you like Mick's date :D
























































I like Mick's date too it's a very popular option I've heard

[baby_troupe]

I like Mick's date too it's a very popular option I've heard


I reckon at this rate Mick is either very nervous or very excited :-X

[Mick.]

I don't think i'll be getting out of my 4by on this trip aspecially in the dark. :o :D

[Humpy]

Im not going near Micks date

6th of may suits me much better

[big60]

The 6th off may should be fine for me

[Brendan]

it's sounding pretty settled then eh ;)

2 more people say yes to this date being good and then how about we pencil it in?

[crusher]

Should be okay for me Brendan. Where's dinner going to be at?

[The Green Beast]

Date suits me Brendan :o see you on the trip ;D and what tracks do you want to doo ;D

Steve..

[Nath]

This trip sounds like a goer, so count me in boys. ;)

[The Green Beast]

WELL . Nath is coming first track is slipperly the rocksee you on the night mate

Steve. THE GREEN BEAST

[Nath]

No worries Steve. ;)

[Mick.]

So have we desided on a meet up place and some place for dinner. I reckon the bowling club sounds alright. ;)

Cheers Mick.

[Brendan]

Yeah Bowlo's are always good. Plus Mick can try and pick up the grannies if it's Bingo night ;D

[MazDan]

Im up for that.........just gotta point me in the right direction.

[Mick.]

Yeah Bowlo's are always good. Plus Mick can try and pick up the grannies if it's Bingo night ;D
Now your thinking. :D I've just got to keep you and Simon away from my date for a couple of hours and I should do alright. 8)

Cheers Mick.

[The Green Beast]

:oyou sick puppy Mick :P

[amazac]

Sounds like a top night

You can pencil me in. I'll have to check the missus fire roster closer to the date and then see if I can get a weekend pass. The brother in law might be keen to come as well.

Has it been decided if we're staying/camping anywhere over night. I'll have to stay up the coast anyway, to long a drive home afterwards.

[Crunch]

I'm keen to come, but the only details I can find is that it's going to be on the 6th. I might have overlooked it, but can someone post up the details (or edit them into the first post)

Cheers guys...

[Brendan]

Bummer you can't come Steve! I wanted to see the green beast in full action.

Right now, I'm tentative as to whether I can come or not. Problem is my transfer case won't shift to N or L, if I can get it fixed beforehand I'll be along but if not Im gonna have to take a raincheck too.

Ill update the frst page tonight with who's coming and trip details for everyone, sorry have been a little slack!

[The Green Beast]

Thanks Brendan ;)Will give maps to mick if he is still going.


Steve.

[Mick.]

[crusher]

mmmm Sawpit at night, that will be interesting.

[hophoar]

I will be staying i'd say. I'm sure there will be a couple of other camping as well.

Cheers Mick.


I'll be camping up at Casurina with a mate. Has anything been decided on a meeting place and feed ?

john.

[UhhOhh]

So what's the plan? I may be keen for dinner and overnighter and a day run or a overnighter and a day run or dinner and night drive and overnighter and a day run.

The possibilities are endless. Whats the plan thus far?


What about Cutrock, Sawpit , Waverock


I'd be keen to hit these in the day time but night time I would be shitting myself!

[Mick.]

How about the Bowling club for dinner? Meet up Time say 5pm on the 6th of May at the Caltex Service station because everyone Knows where that is. Then go the the Bowlo from there.

For those of us that deside to camp out we could stay at Casurina for the night.

John (Hophoar) knows the tracks better than me so maybe he should lead if you don't mind mate. :D

Cheers Mick.

[The Green Beast]

If you do SAWPIT at night :oyou would be the best 4wdriver ;D in australia I have seen the best walk away from that track in the daytime AND if I say IF you guys do HELL HILL well :o ::)I have not heard it done before mmmmm ::)but there are records out there ;D

Steve. all the best

[hophoar]

I Don't mind leading, can get lost as well, if not better than anyone else. Depending on who shows will ultimtely decide which tracks to hit. Seeing as everyone enjoyed going up Whitemans last time , hows this sound for the night run? Up Whitemans , down Zigzag and up Hellhill.

John.

Last outers night run was down Slippery across to cutrock and then sawpit.

[UhhOhh]

Night run up whitemans sounds good to me I havent done it in the daylight yet ;D

YOU will love it very good track mate ;D 10 out of 10 ;D

Steve.

[MazDan]

I wont be able to make this lads, my brother just purchased his first fourbee and Im taking him away for some instruction that weekend.............have a blinder.

[taziiy]

Night run up whitemans sounds good to me I havent done it in the daylight yet ;D




well maybe night time might be better for you then you cant see what your going up ;D

[hophoar]

I wouldn't be worried about going up things, it's when you go downhill and your head lights are pointing out into nothing thats when things get interesting.

[UhhOhh]

If this trip is still a goer we should do a roll call to see what vehicles are coming along and that will most likely determine the grade of tracks we can do.

I think zig zag and slippery rock can be done by most vehicles with a/t tyres getting pulled up in the worse case scenario which isnt a big deal?

Maybe if there is a big variance of vehicles we can go up zig zag and down whitemans or if theres only crazy people coming we can go up whitemans and down zig zag.

Im easy either way.

Peter you will like going up whitemans lane ;D :oand the zig zag is a good one and if you are down near the big dipper get mick to see if the burnt car is gone ::) its a very good one too the best for a night run :o 8) ;D

Steve.

[Brendan]

yep sorry guys i am out of this one i think, the case doesn't look like its getting fixed any time soon, not on the money i'm on... have a blast!

[Mick.]

I'll make a list up of whos going and meetup place etc.

Cheers Mick.

[crusher]

My wife has just reminded me that it is Mothers Day on the Sunday. Not sure if I'll be camping or not now . Will still be doing the drive though .

Wonder if this will affect any others going?
