OZ930 Posted 7May, 2019 Report Share Posted 7May, 2019 Sorry David, definitely cannot make this one, unfortunately. Have a very Happy Birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 7May, 2019 Report Share Posted 7May, 2019 Ha ha well timed David! All the recent talk about northern NSW drives and pies have made me pine to "get the band back together" so count me in. Not 100% sure I'll be in a 911 but I'll find another brand anyway to keep Steve F company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveF Posted 7May, 2019 Report Share Posted 7May, 2019 If another brand is acceptable I am in Caveman!! What a great way to celebrate your birthday! Peter & I can sit at the back so as not to embarrass the cool kids 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter M Posted 8May, 2019 Report Share Posted 8May, 2019 Zed: Bring out the Gimp. Maynard: But the Gimp's sleeping. Zed: Well, I guess you're gonna have to go wake him up now, won't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter M Posted 8May, 2019 Report Share Posted 8May, 2019 Ok, now that we have agreed on who is going to jump out of Caver's giant sized birthday cake, what else needs to be arranged for this trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port 911 Posted 9May, 2019 Report Share Posted 9May, 2019 Are we Northerners keen to drive out Friday, maybe go via the Bylong Valley Way. Leaving the Bells and Putty for the return trip on Sunday. Once we know the meeting point for Saturday morning we can settle on some accommodation for the Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caver Posted 9May, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 9May, 2019 Meeting point will be the usual Lithgow location. I'll PM you shortly with accommodation details and you can make your own bookings for Saturday night. Cheers! David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should see how many northeners there are before we commit to a 3 day although i am off and up for it. Maybe we could persuade @targa george to tag along on the Friday if he can wing it.

Port 911 Posted 9May, 2019 Report Share Posted 9May, 2019 The https://www.zigzagmotel.com.au was pretty good, now we just need numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 9May, 2019 Report Share Posted 9May, 2019 Yep I'm keen for the zigzag on Friday night. We just need to decide on the route: Bylong Valley Way or Putty Road. If we took Bylong Valley Way I could meet you all at Sandy Hollow at say 10.30 -11am or later. It's only 214km to Lithgow from there so an easy run. However I think last time we met George at 10.30 at Lochinvar? Rickie, what would suit you best as you're the furthest? Do we want to do a cultural experience on the way or is straight to the pub cultural enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a massive fail on our last cultural experience because we left too late, talked too much and drank too much coffee, not that there was anything wrong with that😁😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 9May, 2019 Report Share Posted 9May, 2019 About 60km shorter at a neat 300km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port 911 Posted 9May, 2019 Report Share Posted 9May, 2019 I recon Bylong Valley, Rylstone for lunch. Not far after you come out of Bylong Valley road is Lilford Sofala road that would take us to Bathurst via Sofala for a drive around the track and s few photos. We have been so close before but never got there. Then on to Lithgow Zig Zag for the night. So what do we say. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
