I spoke to my mate last night and they don't have the restaurant anymore long story but basically his partner in the shop did the runner and left a huge debt so ill try and organise another place

cause I am dropping kids off at the mother in laws place what time approx. will you guys hit the park across the Hawkesbury bridge near Windsor cause ill meet you all there wont be had to miss a heap of cars plus ill be in my blue focus if you see it 1st my mobile is 0421948607 (Neil) if someone wants to message when close, thanks.

Spewin im gonna miss this the car will be running soon. Anyone from newy keen on a small cruise when shes goin

Aww bugger man, hopefully there is something near the river, as for time I wouldnt have a clue, maybe someone else could answer that


There isnt relay anywhere to cruise arround newy :(

Quick run to wisemans or up the bay

My mate has now taken ownership of a coffee shop which will serve food for lunch (he is a chef too and good) and said he will look after us and can seat a few people, Singleton Coffee Club. Can I get a rough head count and time we want lunch so he can organise seating for us all, thanks.

20 Days till cruise!!

Neil rough head count is on first post, some people may be bring a +1

Dont forget to check up about road closures when we are close to the day.

Its often closed that time of year due to bush fires.
Matter of fact just today the putty was closed in some parts because of fires

yeah i seen those signs driving back home

Yep and or back burning on weekends. Either way think of a back up plan.

Agreeed :)

Yeah good idea!!

Prob go south again if that's the case like last time, along the coast,
grab some fish and chips for lunch then chill out somewhere,
hopefully it doesn't come to that but the back up sounds pretty good to me already haha

Should be hilarious my little 1.6 trying to keep up.

Hammo dude.. suggest keeping the meeting spot the same but choosing a dfferent route up that way

exactly. from windsor there is plenty of alternate routes.

i.e. heading up the mountains, through spring wood road, onto great western, all the past katoomba and up to mount victoria. take a right and head back to richmond via bilpin and kurrajong.

so thats grt wst Hwy, and then Bells line back.

Yeahh was gonna suggest the mountains.. or isnt there like a another good road near hawkesburry?

yeah that would be springwood road (the one we got to the top of when you, my bro and i went and ya car was smoking lol)

or Bells line would be the 2 'good roads' i suppose around the area other than Putty.

alternatively there is also Galstone gorge and Kuring-gai in the other direction.

Yeah your'e right...

I'm open for suggestions, like i said hopefully it doesn't come to this but still don't wanna waste a day on it.

Azza mate if you wanna get on google maps and make a route of what your'e suggestions are that would be cool

Your all thinking right idea. But remember if Putty is closed on a hot day - don't expect all those others to be perfectly CLEAR.
Bell's line is not bad, could go around the back of the mountains. Plus many many other roads with ferry crossings but that would mean the low guys could not go. Did a multi ferry cruise long time back. Including a semi- dirt road. Lots of fun. Real cars only - show ponys took the easy safe longer route. Plus it rained - yes I took Wagon in that one - only mild one handed drifts.

I don't recommend Galstone gorge any more unless it's late night or mid day mid week. - enter crazy rant mode Too many SUNDAY ****ING CAMRY CHRISTIAN MOTORING ASSHOLES looking at the birds - same for Berowra and the like. Great day times and late night stuff but weekend it's always ruined.

yeah bells line is nice :)

as said earlier... this would mean you pop out around Mt Victoria then head back along great western. quite a nice long loop cruise.
