A camping weekend at Lake Dumbleyung is planned for the Long Weekend on 27th to 29th September.
Several members showed interest at the last meeting. There is a map in the last newsletter, for those who have not been before.

You will need to bring your own everything, including water.

I will be departing Farrell's at 9:ooam Saturday 27th, for those wanting to join the ride down.
It is about a 3 to 3 1/2 hour ride, with about 9 k's of good gravel from the Dumbleyung-Kataning Road, and then about 2k's of farm track into the campsite, which is sandy clay.
Road bikes should have no problems, if care is taken.

This event is a family weekend, bring Mum and the kids, in the car if you like.

THIS IS NOT THE "BLACK DUCK RALLY", IT IS JUST A QUIET WEEKEND AWAY.

I hope to see you down there.

Lefty

Hi Lefty and other long weekend riders,

I am a new member based in Bunbury and was thinking of joining you at Lake Dumbleyung.

I hope that it is not too late to do so?

It would appear that it is a spartan campsite going by your notice and that everything one requires needs to be carted in?

Cheers

You are more than welcome, it's all very informal. Whoever turns up, we'll have a good time.
As Lefty noted, bring everything you think you will need.

Hi Paddy7,
I hope to see you down there. We will be arriving around Midday Saturday, but others may get there earlier.
It can be really cold, bring warm stuff.
Cheers
Lefty
