Chook Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Arrived and checked into the park in light drizzly rain. Had a great drive across the paddock too. Catch you guys shortly. Mez and bull31 1 1 Quote
Tiger37 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 I've stopped off after 700km today. Had a slight issue with a gas leak on the caravan so had to divert into Shepperton and eventually found a new part. All being well should get to Kingston early Sat afternoon. May be in time for an evening run?! Looking forward to catching up with old friends bakersdozen and Mez 2 Quote

Chook Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Lake Nadzab didn’t look too flash as I went past with water all over it due to the light rain yesterday. Much more moisture today so not looking too good short term. Sitting on the beach just now at low tide reading a book (cheers Dougie). It’s getting brighter so fingers crossed. It’s blowing a measured 18 knots at right angles to long beach. Surface is rock hard but a bit undulating at the water line. Upper beach where the cars drive is absolutely perfect with a small amount of loose seaweed this year. This is the best I’ve seen the beach. Tiger37, bakersdozen, Mez and 1 other 2 2 Quote
Tiger37 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Posted January 14, 2018 Great day today. We drove south to Beachport to take advantage of a beach that would work with southerlies. Nice locations, a bit bumpy with sand ridges in places and some seaweed to navigate round but we were all able to get some distance round the bay. Very few others on the beach which was a good thing. Plan is to do it again tomorrow! bakersdozen, OBEwan, Mez and 1 other 4 Quote

Tiger37 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Sorry Mez but not sure how to use the Blog. You'll have to show me! 1. Fuel to drive to Kingston - price $200 2. Nightly accommodation rate at Caravan Park - price $40 3. Buggying with friends today at Beachport in 20-24 knot winds using my 3.5m Longstar - priceless! Mez and Jase Shepperd 1 1 Quote
CasualRural Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 I'm very sorry to say guys but I can't get across to Kingston this year to join you. All the usual excuses that didn't allow themselves to be ignored this time round. Sounds like its a great start, I hope everyone has a blast in 2018!!!! Quote
Mez Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Posted January 16, 2018 Sorry you can’t make it @CasualRural Will catch up another time. Those if you heading over, if the weather keeps up, the Clay Pan may be in action from tomorrow onwards.... Jase Shepperd and OBEwan 2 Quote
