Hunter Valley Wine Tasting (Sat 20th Feb 2016)

[penegal]

I still haven't quite worked out how I am getting there or where I am staying.

Sydney is still tempting as I am likely to be there for work, so can just stay on, but the train situation looks a little convoluted.

 

[Buzzard]

Booked and paid for 4 pax.
I'll be packing the car soon, ready to depart ADL on 4th February to drive up :shock:

 

[UpInTheAir:)]

All booked and paid for - 2 pax at the Crowne Plaza. Driving from Newcastle airport
Looking forward to it! Thank you for organising it

Trip Report in the offing?

ps just paid for ticket. penegal, if you don't mind 2 nights in the Hunter, rather than Sydney, don't forget I'm driving up Friday arvo from SYD and back Sunday morning

 

[Buzzard]

Certainly, names and location please.

The 4 of us are staying at the Cessnock Hotel. Let me know if you need the address.

I drive past it 2 to 4 times a day.

Though I may suggest that you walk 130 meters and wait at the bus drop off area directly in front of the entrance to the local swimming pool. It would be a much safer and easier pick up. Plus we would be heading in the right direction for the bus driver.

 

[Buzzard]

09:15 outside the pool it is.

I am regretfully, a late withdrawal.

The post-Christmas period has resulted in a low bank balance, and as such I can't afford much at the moment. I was really looking forward to coming along, but there's always the next event!

Sorry that you cannot make it but do understand. We will see you in Brisbane.

2 x Booked and Paid,

We are staying at the Crowne Plaza

Look forward to meeting you FuzzyAUS

I know Adelaide is a loooooong way, you must be travelling at 40km / hr. Do have a safe trip.

Looking forward to seeing you both again. I know now how much work Buzz puts into organising his legendary tours in SA !!!
Hope you enjoy your visit to the Hunter.

We have also paid. Staying at home !!!

I am still a little disorganised, but will attempt to be less disorganised shortly.

 

[jojen]

I do hope the weather on the day is better than today. Hail, lightening and rain. So far in 2016 we have had 335 mm of rain. Almost half the yearly average.

Some vineyards have suffered significant losses, however this will not affect our day.

The wineries we are visiting have some special treats planned for us. They do know that we are are group of wine connoisseurs !!

Yet no rain at my place today. Washing all dry.

 

[Buzzard]

A quick calculation including those not yet paid make it 21 so far by my reckoning.
