Hi all,

Just wondering if it would be acceptable to turn up to the gathering, or some of the gathering without putting my name down. I would love to go however it would be at the extreme tail end of my trip this year. I would rate my chances at about 50/50.

If something goes wrong, like I get to many punctures, put the 4wd on its side or something else like that then that will add time to my trip and I will not be able to make it.

If all goes well then I'll be there with bells on. I just don't want to inconvenience anyone by saying I will go and then fail to show.

Cheers
Alan

Hi Alan

I would think that most people would give you a warm welcome if you dropped in unannounced.

Where will this years trip take you?

Regards
Dick

Hi Dick,

Thanks for that.

I'll be spending a couple of weeks with some exploroz members in the Gibson, including one with a new shiney ute with a big motor. Then I'm on my own for a while, finding my soul in the desert until I come to that big green area up north.

Cheers
Alan

Hi Alan

That would be the shiney ute with the extended chassis?

Come to think of it, he did say something about carrying a bit of extra weight :)

Easy Pal,

I am your rescue co-ordinator so leave my girth out of it ;-)

Alan,

I very much doubt that you would not be made welcome.

As there is a quite a number of attendees, who I am sure will not not stay for the whole duration. Last year in St George some only stayed for 1 -2 nights then continued on with their trip.

Cheers Kev
