But then again that was 40 or 50 years ago. At least the Flatfender has a bikini top now.

Very cool Ian. Literally!

Thanks for the pics Dusan!
OK team. I have been asked how long the day will be: please be aware that this is a full day trip and we finish returning to the bitumen quite a distance out west. (Which is why I tried to reverse the trip, unfortunately that plan did not work).
When we tested the route with Greg we started probably an hour later, ran down a few 'no through routes' and had to back up, chewed up time with some winching operations (not necessary with our changed plan), and we were airing up at a 2:30. So it can be done quite quickly - WITH A SMALL GROUP. This is not a small group, so we are starting a little earlier and the target is to be airing up 4:00 - 4:30pm. Allow at least 2.5 hours for the trip home on bitumen.
No timetable can be guaranteed, but we have a plan. :encouragement:
cheers

Never Mind the Bollocks=Photobucket, Here's another one from Ball Bone trip just before the Jamboree. This is the little descent at the exit from the plain when taking the trial in a east-to-west direction I believe...

After discussing it with Greg, we will amalgamate the reserve list and bring the whole group. Another big convoy on Baal Bone, seems to be a habit! :smile-new:
A couple of quick notes:
Ian: If the weather is the same as today you are going to love it. A slight touch of frost in the shadows early in the morning but otherwise fine and sunny all day.
Khaled: has had some on street issues and will confirm late this week if repairs are ready. Bad luck that.
Daniel: You have booked onto two trips that run at the same time. You need to choose and let the trip leaders know. All good, but fill us in please.
Dusan - thanks for that last pic, I was just going to spring it on everyone, hahaha! Anyway we checked conditions agains today and it's all good.

It would be too much to expect the weather to be as nice as today, but what the hell - if you have a Jeep you must enjoy pain?
Cheers
Ian W.

Hi Dru,
Unfortunately it seems my car repairs will still take a while until complete so i won't be able to join this time. Have a good trip and look forward to joining the next one.

Khaled - that's disappointing! Keep an eye out, there will be plenty of trips where we can catch up.
daniel - any update, bloke?
