yep heaps of firewood around to keep the cold at bay, and lots of clothing layers 'cause during the day it is rather warm.

Hope those lerking in the background have sent their nominations.

only 12 sleeps to go. :smile:

Hey Christine, your flat spot on the roof is now clear of debris, one of the members was up there removing leaves and branches this morning. :smile:
Looking pretty good, courses marked out today.

no not camping, just feels that way - been out a couple of times lately :smile:
There is a caretaker on site full time, and I noticed a van and tent set up today that were not there yesterday arvo.
So you can go and set up anytime, however I will just mention the Yellow Caution tape is highly toxic and death will be imminent if it comes in contact with human skin and the area around it is quite tocix ..... :lol: so anywhere below that will be fine..... :biggrin:

only 5 sleeps to go.. :biggrin: :biggrin:

I am marking out an area about 50 x 50m square guarded by razor wire and underfed dobermans, in case any of my rellies or other undesirables who I haven't seen for millenia might chose this weekend to visit me at my playgrounds. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Yes Ron, I noticed the detour signs were still in place the other morning. As far as directions getting to the club I believe this way is easier if you are towing a van as it isn't as windy (that's curvy not blowy) round the mountain and only 10mins extra.

Make sure you have my number if by chance you should become temporarily geographically embarrassed. :biggrin:

Just a quick mention for those who were interested in some Zen Liniment Spray (there were a few enquiries at Barambah): I can get it wholesale and will have bottles with me. Anyone can have it for what it cost me which is $16 Find the Nipper Caravan with the red dog and you'll be in the right spot

So looking forward to the weekend it sounds like you guys are going to a lot of trouble decorating the place with all sorts of colored tape. As for the Zen, I asked my dear Tracey if I could have a bottle and she said yes you can 16 dollars :surprised: not even a freebie for me she said gotta pay my business back lol love ya sweetie!
