Tassie meetup run and won.....DIAL UP WARNING

Some pics from today. Had a bit of a forum meetup as a result of the "bash around the bush" thread. Had a few blokes in tow. No major carnage to report. Mark broke a CV in the surf, I developed a diff leak, and Ben caught the sausages on fire.

How did it go i've been up around there but some of the others i went with found it too hard.

[danny boy]

I'm from penguin but not scared to travel for some fun i would like to join for a trip or two when im free

[REDROCKET]

Hey guys, checked out the tracks out up around lemonthyme power station on saturday and there's a good power line track that looks ok. Didn't follow it all the way but looks like it would be a good 1, lots of water! ;D

The track into wolfram mine itself is pretty easy but very over grown and the last 3-4k's are unaccessable by 4x4 due to some very large 3-4 meter deep washouts.

I'd definately be keen to go back up there in the ol lux a try the powerline track tho. ;)

[hi-lux91]

Im keen to... Let me no when ya thinkin bout to doin it cause i would be intersted to tag aolong

me too....count me in

[danny boy]

im definatly in if im free and maybe bring some friends

[REDROCKET]

;D Yeah we'll have to organise it but it'll have to be late next month cause i'm booked up pretty well till them. I know i'm soft and should get my priorities right. How does the 23rd or 24th of july sound?

[danny boy]

23rd is free atm

[REDROCKET]

Sweet i'll start a new thread on it

[sudso]

Top pic's guys, looks like you all had a ball.

Tassie tracks rule! So many in such a small place. You's are lucky.
Cant wait to get over there for a couple of weeks.
