You can leave whenever you need to, we all understand about other commitments etc etc.
As a group it's hard to say. Cave tours go for different durations etc etc
But as it will take over 2.5 hours for some to get home, i would assume somewhere between 3 to 4 pm we would all leave. :1syellow1
Hope this helps...
Run sheet to be emailed soon.

The last 8 kilometres is extremely steep and windy. The road between 11:45 am and 1:45 pm is one way only (into Jenolan), and at times it 1 car width wide. There are many tourist buses that use this road.

Lunch: :baby bott

Costs
• Fuel 350kms
• $4.50 to park car.
• Cave tours, prices from $16.00 (Adult), $10 (children), $39.00 family (2 adults, 3 kids).

On the trip home, we will exit following Edith Road (it is all sealed), and heading to Oberon. Optional, stop at nice warm Oberon RSL for drinks..
From Oberon, head toward Hampton, which leads onto Jenolan Road, to return home via the way we came. This is a safer exit route than the journey in.

Notes
• It is very cold, wear WARM clothing!!!
• There is the option of spirited cruise, only for those (if any) are interested.
• There is a gift shop, and a bistro, the bistro is very expensive.
• Please be at the meeting point on time as we will be trying to leave at 8:30am sharp.
• Bring this sheet along with you on the day as it may help if you get lost or left behind somehow.
• When you arrive at the meeting place make sure your car is full of petrol so you do not have to stop mid cruise.
• If we can all drive with our lights on, as it is easier to see each other.
(Also looks as if were all part of a cruise, or a funeral, but hopefully a cruise)
• If you have CB radio’s bring them along (and batteries)
Channel 14 is the Official FPV– Tickford Club Crusing Channel.
• It will be ON, rail / hail or shine.

Yes I have got to say yet another top day, it was bloody cold out there and yet Matt still broke out in a sweat in the (easy) cave, then we had the joy of walking up Mt Everest to the bloody car park.
And yes the snow fight was a laugh, and the kids were blown away to see snow for the first time, I still dont know who had the most fun, the Adults or the Kids?
Good to see everyone again and I hope you all had as much fun as I did..

Cheers

Another great day my legs are still hurting after the climb up the mountain back to the car park. :1syellow1

[B-1B]

It was a great run and many thanks must go to Gary and Ben for organising such an event.
Easy cave? Even you were sweating!lol
That was the hardest cave there! Thanks to Ailsa for having faith in me making it through those 900 odd steps, I know that I didn't.
It was a laugh when Ben started running up Mt Everest at the end of it all!
Matt.

[Bluehoon]

Yes it was a great day!

Had a blast and some great laughs, especially watching you lot struggle up that hill!!!
Bunch of unfit hoons, : py: : !!!

What can i say, after 12 hours with B-1B... The revelations are all true!!!!!!

Thanx heaps matt for driving me round all day (it was great gas bagging away all day with ya!), think the little ol' Fiesta may of struggled up some hills a bit.

Caves, who is up for that adventure caving?????????? :nutsycuck

Well i think that was the best yet!Im sure everyone that did the cruise yesterday will all agree that it was unreal!
The cruise up was great but the caves were fab,Not only did we get Matt throu but we also managed to get poor Ashley throu without to much trouble and even Nanna made it , how good did the old girl do! : (and she will be a young 70 this year not bad considering some of the younger crowd was puffing and panting ow and ducking poor Stretch nearly lost his head a few times! e
And my babies also got to see snow for the first time : Dinner at Oberon RSL was very yummy but poor Po' s eyes were bigger than his belly : Hope you enjoy the photos :
