How long is the trip?: 2 Days
Meeting place: M1 Service Centre WYONG
Departure time: Leaving at 8:00am if you want breaky please get there early
About the trip: THE PLAN
I would like to be at the property about 9:00 – 9:30 am, this will give us a couple of hours to setup camp, do some socializing (pre-drinks). Probably a real good idea to get some food in the belly before we get on the bus.
I will confirm bus pickup time once I have an idea of the numbers, if the same as last time just after lunchtime. We will need to meet the bus out on the road, which is gunna be tough walkin back up that driveway when we get back half sloshed. The itinerary will be similar to last time, visiting a brewery, 2 wineries, cheese shop & chocolate shop, but I am very open to any suggestions.
We should be back around 5’ish, that’s getting close to sunset so then down to camp & start burning timber, we still need to finish cutting up that tree we started last time so bring ya chain saws.
Grade of trip: Social, very social
Last stop for water, fuel, food
Camping details: Down the back of my sisters property.
We may need to help the 200’s get through some of the rough stuff.
Access for tent/trailer/camper/caravan: Bring your campers, vans, tents, swags whatever you are comfortable in.
Facilities: Consider it a Bush Camp so please bring everything you need, especially WATER , we are in a drought.
What to bring: It’s gunna be cold so bring ya winter woolies.
There is plenty of firewood (especially if we get that tree cut up) Other details: For those who want to add to their adventure there is Hot Air Ballooning.
Hunter Valley balloon flights begin at sunrise and take in views of the picturesque wine regions of Pokolbin, Lovedale, Rothbury or Broke. Balloon flights last approximately one hour and are followed by a delicious gourmet breakfast and champagne celebration at the famous Peterson House winery and Restaurant.
