Berowra to Wisemans Ferry Sunday 30th November
We'll have a run around the northern parts of this fine city on the 30th of November. Meet here in the large carpark just off Gully Road in Berowra

10 a.m for a 10.30 departure. The roundabout route took me just over an hour on a recce run but traffic was very light and the ferry at Berowra was waiting for me which was rather nice. Sunday drivers and us probably pulling off for photos and things should give us a good hour and a half or more to amble our way up to Wisemans.
I suggest a picnic lunch as there aren't many bbqs in the big park by the river and if we all bring something cold it means we can just crash on the grass somewhere in the shade of a tree. Hometime when everybody wants to head off.
Weather and traffic permitting it should be a nice leisurely run.
Anything i've forgotten just ask away
Regards
Paul

The last Sunday should be good by me. Most of the roads are all foreign to me too, which is cool, its good to be able to check out places I haven't been before and have someone lead you the way.
I look forward to the sunshine and the sunroof and the passers-by in the streets yelling "Your car's shit!"

It'll be great if you can make this run. Normally we have the runs on saturdays but to help out those who have to work saturdays and this being a shortish run then we thought sunday would be the go for a change.Shipper 01 wrote:I'd be keen subject to getting the 633 on historic plates in time.

Out of interest, how far is this cruise and what time will it be finished? I need to be home in time for Australian Idle/Make me a Supermodle/Australia's Most Wanted.
Also, are there any hills? My car only has 4 gears so I'm not sure it will make it. Fuel usage is an issue too, I need to know if I can do this trip on less than 1/4 of a tank.

I suppose you'll want snow too, right?hoadie wrote:Out of interest, how far is this cruise and what time will it be finished? I need to be home in time for Australian Idle/Make me a Supermodle/Australia's Most Wanted.

No worries. You will be able to manage all of the above and more. Much more.hoadie wrote:Out of interest, how far is this cruise and what time will it be finished? I need to be home in time for Australian Idle/Make me a Supermodle/Australia's Most Wanted.

Here's a rough root for the day

Can you arrange it? Be great if you could cos I haven't seen snow since 2005.amibuggnu wrote:I suppose you'll want snow too, right?hoadie wrote:Out of interest, how far is this cruise and what time will it be finished?

This is your neck of the woods mate. You're the one who should be organising spectacular weather for me.hoadie wrote:Can you arrange it?

The views will be very similar too. I think ben took that photo around Windsor road way and we'll be nearly parallel to that but with the river.
Current forcast for Sunday is fine and 26 degrees. We shall find a shady spot to eat no doubt but still a hat is an important edition to the day. Not only for shading our skin but also for style, we don't want to look like a bunch of old tramps Ellis.

Depends. Is this a highly sought after award recognising excellence in achievement, or is it just a token lump of plastic designed to do nothing other than encourage participation?Paul Humpage wrote:Perhaps the Ben Hoad award for the snappiest dresser?amibuggnu wrote:How timely. I've just bought a new hat and my tuxedo should be back from the drycleaners by Thursday. I look forward to winning an award of some sort.
