Just seeing how everyone whose name is on the list above are still able to make the trip. Only those who CANNOT make it let me know so I can remove your name.

Hey Mark,
              We put our hands up for this trip just before you closed it off due to increasing numbers, my name doesn't appear on the list. Just wanted to know if we can still join the trip as i'm in the process of booking in my annual leave for those dates. Cheers Pete

I'm planning a trip for 6 families to the Cape at the same time that you (and everyone else) will be up there. I may have to keep a close watch on your itinerary so that we're not fighting for campsites or queueing behind you all on the OTT ;D

By the sounds of it, I'll need to avoid the Jardine River when you are there as well as DH doesn't need much encouragement to have a go, and since he's taken to calling me croc bait already, I don't like my chances.

Hi all, I haven't read the whole thread so please forgive me if this/these question(s) has/have been asked already. The wife and I are keen to give this a go.

I have basic off road experience, most was in a 4WD fire truck but plenty of private trips on sand and a bit in snow & some moderately rough tracks too. Even in my 2wd dunebuggy when I had it. You would be amazed where you can get in a dunebuggy. lol.

Anyway, just wondering what this trip requires. ie; skill level, equipment, vehicle mods, fuel reserves etc..
We have (will have) a 4wd and will also have an offroad CT by then. I firmly believe in safety in numbers so a trip like this would be awesome. As for this being a "Cape York" trip, all I know is where it is...no what to expect in the way of terrain, resupply points etc.. etc..

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Stuart

Regretfully I can only take so many people on these trips and as you can see we have a large number with their hands up already. All I can say is keep an eye on this as come January I will see what people who have their name on the list cannot make it and slot you guys in if possible.

Regarding what to expect and other things you mentioned I will be adding to the list these items and more after January when I have finalised the exact numbers. I hope this helps.

Does anyone know if there is anything planned by anyone for a cape trip in Sept 2012???
We are hoping to go then.. Start of the school Hols or a week before so it overlaps...

We don't want to go on our own ( obviously )
It will be the whole family at the moment ( wife waiting on a date for her friends wedding in uk so if it coincides with sept then it will be just moi )

Sorry if I've hi jacked :-[
