Any extra people are charged at $12 a person.UHF CB & Mobile PhonesOnce outside of Adaminaby, you will not get any mobile reception till the end of the cruise. For this reason being in possession of a UHF CB radio is a pre-requisit for this cruise.That way everyone can stay in contact, the leader can relay information about cars, road hazzards etc..Cheap CB's which will allow you to hear updates from the leader are available from any electronics store (I.e. Dick Smith) for under $50 each.Decent CB's which will enable you to communicate at least 2km's in either direction are available for around $160.If you need help with getting a CB, advice on which CB to get and which one not to get, etc.. Send me a PMWARNINGSThis will be a very long weekend.Sydney - Jindabyne is over 400kmsMelbourne - Jindabyne is over 500kmLap of the Snowies is around 250kmsSunday will in itself involve over 10 hours of driving.The roads we are going on are very tight and winding un-signposted roadsThere are hazzards such as rocks, branches, etc.. lying on the road (why we ask you to have a CB)The roads are very windy, kids and car sick prone siblings are not recommendedYou have to consider all these circumstances before you decide if this weekend cruise is for you.So who's in, and have you booked your accommodation?NSWRAP1D - Yet to book accommodationbcl + Joyce - Booked @ Alpine Gablesdal_dhillon - Booked @ Alpine GablesBuf-Phoon + Miss V - Yet to book accommodationMax Power - Yet to book accommodationXR64T - Booked @ Alpine GablesCro - Booked @ Alpine GablesTrumpy + Mrs T - Booked at Alpine GablesLoopism + 1 - bookedTurbo6man + 1DBOSS + 1ACTms700 + Kirsty - Booked @ Robs mums placebugster70 - Booked @ Alpine GablesFalchoon - Booked @ Alpine GablesQLDTabitha + Phantomchic - Booked @ Alpine GablesVICEvilDaifu - Booked @ Alpine GablesGogo - Booked @ Alpine GablesAdam & Mel - Booked @ Alpine Gablesveczar - Booked @ Alpine GablesEnvi-T - Yet to book accommodationMaybe:mickey geePlease let me know when you have booked your accommodation, and wether you will be in posession of an UHF CB Radio.PS: These are the notes from the last two snowies runs:http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20235http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=8503 Edited 15/11/06 05:48 AM by Cro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilDaifu Cruise Whore Moderating Team 5,130 Member For: 19y 5m 24d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 04/09/06 01:04 PM Share Posted 04/09/06 01:04 PM (edited) Hi Cro,I'm a confirmed and will make my booking into the Alpine Gables.I've got my own 5W UHF handheld CB radio. (So I can be an anchor or mid-fielder in the cruise if you need someone to relay messages.)I've also got two 0.5W UHF handheld CB radios if anyone wants to borrow them for the cruise. Just PM me to reserve one.For interest, here are some pics I took of my trip through the Snowy Mountains in early October this year. It was a great drive Thanks Kind Regards,EvilDaifu - BF XR6T Edited 04/09/06 01:44 PM by EvilDaifu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
