Short Notice - Scouting Run this Sunday (May 28)

#1 Post by Rob » Sat May 27, 2017 10:46 am

I'm looking at doing a scouting run in the hills back behind Ladysmith, anyone able to come along, would be good to have a 2nd or 3rd truck along so we can spread-out a bit. Prefer radio equipped trucks (HAM) but all are welcome, bring a bagged lunch for the road. Might be scratchy, not sure yet, depends on what we encounter. Planning on a 10AM start and back out by 2PM. Will meet at the Tim Hortons in Ladysmith. Best to reply to this post to let others know you're going and if you have any spare seats.

Regards, Rob

If it's still happening, I'll be there. Do you have a radio I could borrow?

Thanks, Colin.

Yes, still going, 10 am start for TH in Ladysmith. Bring a fFRS talkie talkie if you don't have HAM.

It was a great time! I was really surprised to find snow, it seemed to be our second or third snowflake chase this year.

Yup, sorry I missed it too. Need to check the forum more often I guess. Glad you guys had a good time. Email or texts for short notice outings might be worth a try in the future.
