I need to do a "shake-down" camping trip - a test run before I load up my new Paj and head for Victoria next year. MoreliaMatt's Cape Elizabeth post gave me a destination - so I'm heading that way December 7th, to have some fun in the sand and camp overnight.
Justin (geopaj) looks like he's coming too, which is good for me, as at least he's been there before. But even he's not sure exactly how to find the fun spots, so we're hoping that some fellow forumites who know the area will come along...
Even if you don't know the area, you're welcome to come and join us - overnight, or either day. We figure that Moonta is close enough to Adelaide for it to be a day trip, and if members want to come up on the Sunday I'm sure we can work out a meeting point. Old Jack's Peake students can test their new found skillz, and maybe Old Jack could come along to teach some new students?
Anybody?
Attendees:
nj swb + 3 passengers - confirmed Saturday, Camping, Sunday
geopaj - confirmed Saturday, maybe Camping
mike nm paj - confirmed Saturday, meeting in Moonta
hobbo +2 - confirmed Saturday, camping CP.
glsgls - I think?
Maybe:
Sub888 + crew
XXXceed
Douggeh
m and m - Sunday only
Unavoidable withdrawal:
Silver Streak
- take care, see you next time
Edit: As geopaj suggests, bring a sand flag. If you don't have one, don't stress - but they are a good idea, so if you can get one between now and then, please do.
Update:
Meeting: coffee at 9am in Port Wakefield. We're in this for the off-road driving, not the highway driving, so let's get the highway behind us early.
Personally, I like Pope's Cafe, which is across the road from the Shell. I figure if we all aim to congregate somewhere around there, it should'nt be too hard to find each other. If anybody wants my mobile, send me a PM - I'm not a fan of posting phone numbers on teh interwebz.
At sub888's suggestion, let's nominate Channel 15 for meeting in Pt Wakefield.
Moonta Meet: Looks like a few members are heading up on Friday night, so it's probably a good idea to have a defined meeting point in the area. How about the carpark opposite the Bowls Club here. Channel 15.
Let's aim for 10am in Moonta, so we can hit the dunes sooner rather than later.
Camping: We have a few options for camping. If you're thinking of staying the night, please complete the camping permit as per the linked post - completing the permit doesn't mean we must camp there, but it helps keep our options open.
For those running OziExplorer, I've loaded MoreliaMatt's waypoints into a waypoint file, which is attached to this post. I hope it works...
