| Details: Saturday, 15th January 2022 TRAX Trip – ‘RECCE’ TRIP TO ‘BACK OF BUNGLEBOORI’ |
 |
G’day,
We want to prepare this slightly overgrown track for a ‘proper’ trip later in the year.
The trip is relatively short, (it’s a ‘one-day-er’) and you’ll be home early.
The aim is the ‘prune back’ some ‘outgrowing undergrowth’ so that those with reasonably new vehicles won’t get ‘pin stripes’ down the sides.
Last time we were there about 2 years or so ago there was a section of a couple of hundred metres of track that would need a cut back.
This may now have increased since all the rain of the last 12 months.
So,
We need workers, to bring hedge trimmers, clippers, secateurs, pruning and bush saws and a couple of chain saws PLUS,
Some caring and refreshment staff to provide cold fruit juice, hot tea or coffee and snacks for the workers.
The whole job may only take an hour or so – BUT since this is a recce and we haven’t done the whole trip for a couple of years then come prepared for anything.
This trip is suitable for the elderly (old blokes) as well as the young. Remember it’s a ‘Recce’ not a picnic – that will come when we do the actual trip in a couple of months time.
DETAILS
- Meet at Clarence (Zig – Zag) railway station at 8:30am (It’s not too early, daylight saving, remember.)
- Bring your scrub clearing equipment (hedge trimmers, clippers, secateurs, pruning and bush saws, scrub hooks and/or chain saws),
or if you want to be in the refreshment team some scones, cool /hot drinks for the manual workers.
- It may be a blazing hot day, so bring a good, wide brimmed hat and the sun screen!
- Don’t forget to bring some strong gloves.
- Come prepared for good fellowship and a day of encouraging others.
- But above all – this is a work day and a ‘recce’ for a future relaxation day.
TRIP LEADER
- Neil Flower, ably assisted by Simon Legree (of ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ fame!)
- You must let Neil know that you are coming or, if at the last minute pulling out
- We will also be working on Channel 13 UHF on the day.
- This has to be a ‘member’s only’ day since there will be manual labour and members are covered by the Club insurance.
- Let Neil know now! Let Neil know now! Let Neil know now!
See you on the TRAX
Neil F.
