13 in total

I will start arranging in Jan the accomodation in the huts at Seisa and pairing people up. If any one has a preference who they would like to share a hut with let me know. As we have a smaller number we will drop into some other spots along the way.

There may be some members who we will catch up with along the way.

Keg is staying at Punsand Bay.

Hey McGirr, Steveandviv, as well as Frostd will catch up with you guys along the way. Not sure where that will be yet, but looking forward to it. We will be doing Cairns to Cairns in 4 weeks.

Mark, it is with a heavy heart that I advise that I will have to withdraw from the trip.

My boss has advised that I cannot have leave over the June-July period (I write/support a payroll software package and that is an important time of the year). I have been looking forward to this for months, and am very disappointed to have to drop out. Hopefully I will get an opportunity at a later time. I will maintain an interest in your planning and wish every one all the best for what should be a trip of a lifetime.

Scott you have been added.

McGirr · December 17, 2010, 05:13:27 PM

I have added geoffnvi as the 15th member heading to the Cape.

I will now lock these numbers in as I want to add some other places we can see and the 15 members will make it alot easier.

Accommodation at Seisa will be arranged in January and will advise the number of huts available and organise who will be partnering each other in the huts. The huts accommodate 2 groups.

Some members have pm me requesting who they would like to share a hut feel free to do the same.

Hi Mark,

All still good my end. I am likely to be without the wife though. Work committments for her are a bugger. I should however have my two sons with me who are 12 and 14. Going about preparing the ute at the moment. Looking for a good upgrade in suspension though. Anyone with any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Will also be carrying all the mandatory recovery gear though including high lift jack and chainsaw. Dont have a winch though, boo hoo. Will probably need to do it the manual way with a tirfor.

Looking forward to it.

Cheers Polar bear

I would not worry about a winch there will be other vehicles with them. A snatch strap helps also. Depending on what weight you will be carrying we use air bags for the cruiser.

Mark

Polar Bear · December 18, 2010, 08:37:34 AM

Should not have too much weight. The biggest weight will be all fuel. Both types the deisel variety and the alcohol variety.

Cheers Polar

McGirr · December 18, 2010, 12:44:24 PM

There will be a special thread on alcohol how much to take, where to buy it etc

Capts billy landing has changed as the shed that was once there has been removed. It can get very windy that side of the Cape. On the way back members can do what ever they wish. I will probaly head down to Vrylia point on the west coast on the way back.

Mark

littlefamily · January 06, 2011, 07:29:21 PM

No drama were cape virgins so we will probably just tag along with the flow cheers mate

Hi Mark,

At the moment I am by my lonesome, my mate pulled out but I'm still a definite starter. I'll be chasing my other mates to see if one of them is available. Do you have any info on fishing trips from seisa or anywhere else. Also do you require a deposit to book our accomadation?

Just making sure, the start date is the 25-6-11 from Cairns.

Thanks Bert
