Hi guys,
I've got a friend coming over for Camp Coffs and probably has some spare room in his luggage if anyone would like anything form the US (ship to his house).
Ben
You can put me on the maybes list.
Ben
Count me in. Let's hope it doesn't rain. I roll doorless as standard now.
I'm probably interested. I've got a friend in town and need to see if he wants to come.

I could be interested in some jeeping on the day(s) right after camp coffs on the way back to Sydney.

Can you put a thread summary of the trip on the first page mentioning who's going, when, optional dates and routes that have been discussed, and other useful details.
Send me a PM or SMS if you'd like to meet up tomorrow (Sunday the 9th) for some fun in the Newcastle/Stockton area. I think I'll end up both on the beach as well as the trails.
