Can I just suggest a slightly later start time than normal due to meet point being ~1hr away for most people?

I was hoping it might have been an afternoon event. I'm out if it's morning as I have a wedding the night before.
Shame, this looks like a good drive!

How dare your sir, referring to me as a "Maybe". Liberty's at ten paces and I demand satisfaction!!! :lol:

But then again.... there maybe smoke haze in the valley from Morwell and my asthma might play up.

Ok, maybe it is for the mo.... :oops:

ok, I've made the start time 9:00am meet-up for 9:30 departure.
That should get us into Walhalla at lunchtime.

Mark, give your cabin filter a clean, and push the "Recirculate" button. :)

That sounds like manual labour! I'll pass those instructions on to Jeeves.

9am? Half the day gone waiting, dinning and sipping coffee!

And as some would say, thats almost my nap time. :lol: :lol:
