Ok, I'm confident to do this. Weather should be cooler with roughly 28C expected top tomorrow - which realistically means it'll be in the 30's. Fire danger is "High"; the lowest it's going to be for this period -
See here under Saturday's declaration. This is good news! I'll also be carrying a ruck sack - it's a 20L back pack of water with one of those sprayer pump devices. I've also got my small on board fire extinguisher - not that I hope to be using either of these!
Meet point will remain the same; Time is the same at 10am.
Call me if any issues arise, or you're going to be late etc: zero four 2 won 1 ate for three to one
Please let me know who you are if you text me!
The track isn't a long one, I smashed it out tonight (sorry Jake!) in about 15-20 mins all in high range. With the group we'll obviously move slower but that's all good, there's no grass on the track
It should still be an interesting trip with daylight about!
A stock lib should be able to manage easily - That's just an opinion, I've not had a stock liberty out there. Vegetation will rub along the side of your vehicle (if this will be an issue we can mud map another route for you
)
What to bring:
- Lunch! Or we can head to the Mt Macedon Mountain Inn - my local drinking "hole" when I'm home. There are no bbq's at Sanatorium Lake area that I could see in the dark - there have never been any there before. I would recommend a cold lunch unless you've got one of those gucci 12V ovens!
- If you're a smoker: some sort of device/container to place your cigarette butts into; I'm sick of seeing people flicking them out the window, even in this crazy hot weather! But that's another issue.
- Deck chair device - could come in handy
- CB radio, hand held will do. Channel 18 is a good one that comes from the top of my head tonight
- The usual refreshments and sun care stuff - it could be hot and it will be sunny at times
- Camera
- Stamina for chatting
That should be about it.
Catch you at 10am!
Cheers
Bennie
Even if we can have a poke around the friday before hand that'd work well for me, one less trip down from Shepp
