Pura Vida has been a 2wd with a busted front drive shaft since last camp coffs, but hoping to get back off road again.

Post up if you're going to Camp Coffs so we can all meet up there and/or convoy

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.

Ben

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.

Too bad we...

I'm still planning on doing some tracks in the Newcastle/Port Stephens/Stockton area this Sunday. There are plenty of tracks in the area including killi loop, which we didn't actually do last...

Since a few people have dropped out, my friend Jason who's not a club member would like to come.
