NSW - 25/3/12 - South Coast Cruise

Postby JustinR » Thu Jan 19, 2012 10:06 am

Date: 25th March, 2012
Time: 10:00 am
Event: Cruise to the south coast.

Meeting Point:
Plan: Chat, catch up, photos, stuff, whatever.
FB Event: http://www.facebook.com/events/371519892881700/

**UPDATE**

I propose that we do the Grand Pacific Drive, travelling along the coast, until we get to Gerringong, where we can have a meal, take some photos then travel back home again :)

**I'm thinking we meet just after the roundabout at Helensburg at around 10:00am for a 10:30-1045am leave. As you exit the roundabout, headed towards Stanwell Park after the Princess Hwy, look out for my Blue Lancer parked along the side of the road near Symbio Wildlife Park (7/11 Lawrence Hargrave Dr, Helensburgh 2508).**

Depending on how we feel on the day, we can either sit around the main bit of Gerringong and eat pies, or sit in the comfort of the Gerringong Bowling Club.

Can those who can and might be able to make it please post up so i can get a list going. Partners and Children are most welcome as well.

My Proposed Route down:

Alternate Route down:
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?saddr=La ... 3&t=m&z=11

This one we don't join back onto the highway, and travel through the suburbs. Doesn't bother me which way we head, but i'd thought id leave it up to the rest of you :)


Admin note: Good to see some initiative from our members putting forward ideas for new cruise routes and places to see. If you too have an idea please don't be afraid to put your ideas forward in the http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=9022 thread for discussion and guage interest levels

Great Idea Justin .....

Perhaps you should pick a nice place down your way for a change.

I'm thinking a nice cruise down to Gerringong, maybe starting at the RNP, but take the coastal drive instead on the way down then joining back onto the highway at Bulli/Thirroul.

Something like this...

There should be some spots for photos with the beach background too.

Perhaps our friends from Canberra would like to meet us? Or we could travel closer to them.

@ JustinR
You originally mentioned a Meet with a Cruise & a Meal Somewhere.

That Cruise looks Good Justin ..... but its 85km's long, one way .... *doh*
Your gonna spend half the day driving. Never-mind Google saying 1hr 24mins.
That's Calculated with Free Flowing Traffic and in keeping at the Posted Speed Limits throughout the Entire Distance.
And that's without considering the drive to the Start Point .... 49km's for me.

Can you imagine how many times we would lose/leave members behind because of other Road Users and Traffic Lights/ Round-a-Bouts etc over an 85km distance.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Shorter Cruise to a Meet where we could Congregate, Discuss & Enjoy each others Company whilst Partaking in a Meal.

Don't want to Rain on your idea ..... since its "Majority Involvement" .... that Decides.
However .... If its any time soon .... then I may not be able to attend ....
I simply cant drive that distance with my current Back Injury condition.


Sorry .... Sam.

Maybe do a poll with various options of cruises??
I can understand sams point of view with his injury,that cruise is nothing like we did in Qld a few weeks ago where we covered around 400kms in a day.Was awsome,but up to the members to have there say :)
85kms is nothing really IMO :)

No Ben ..... that's not it at all .... *nono*

You obviously missed my points while reading my post .... *doh*

Besides, the Meet/Cruise ... isn't dependent on me attending.
I'll even go as far to say ... more will probably attend if I don't ... :P
(I could name a fearful few --- but No Popcorn for you at this time Ben)

I'm sure you'll agree Ben ... :roll:

I'd love to see you on a cruise Sam the more the merrier. But the distance that Justin has plotted is a walk in the park compared to other cruises I've been on. Yes sometimes you do lose people on the way but of we all know the destination and its plotted in the gps, you end up catching up with them in the end.

I dont recall anybody getting lost in the Bathurst cruise. Everyone kept up and if someone needed a toilet break we all pulled over :)

Suggestions are welcome though Sam, could even head down to Wollongong and have meal there?

At JustinR.

Please don't Alter or Change your Meet / Cruise Intentions for/or on behalf of me.
I'm Not Majority Member partaking in this.

I just thought it was gonna be Close, Simple & Enjoyable Sit & Eat & Chat at somewhere closer to home for most.
You Obviously Want To and So You Should ..... Go on a Cruise down South.

Please Don't change things based on my Current Situation.
That would not be Fair to the Other Majority Members.

Please, Go Cruisin Guys .... & Enjoy.

I am merely offering suggestions at this point Sam.

Your right in my original post i did say a meet/cruise, but yeah depending on numbers im happy with whichever. I'd love to go on a Cruise down south, however if theres no numbers from the Club then theres really no point.
