TRIP REPORTS Once again we had an excellent group of Club members along for this trip. We had a lot of fun and found some good tracks. The weather was a good deal hotter this year and had a Total Fire Ban on the Friday so we weren’t able to go deep into the forest for safety reasons but everyone excepted what we did do in good spirit. We also had a lot of fun chasing the shade during fiveses and into the evenings. Congratulations are due to Grant & Kathy Cavenagh (1651) on the unexpected arrival of their new granddaughter on Saturday. Unfortunately they had to cut their trip short so they could get home in time for the birth. Thanks to Fritz Suendermann for suggesting we use Scrubby Creek track to go to Mt Pinnabar. We will definitely be using that again. The amount of track knowledge that is held by Club Members is amazing. We will be running this trip again next year but at a different time. We like staying at the Colac Colac Caravan Park but it is getting just too busy on the Australia Day Week End. The weather can be (and was) very hot as well. So for next year it will probably be held the first week in March and will be from Monday to Friday. I will give plenty of notice on Team App. So thanks everyone for another memorable weekend.
