how far are you from perisha bliz
She is 2hrs without traffic/road works.
Holy crap, it’s mid Feb and there is a thread for this already? I will be going as often as I can usually for weekend warrior trips but I usually leave early arvo on Fridays.
I created this thread by moving h0z and Oz’s conversation from the “Devo” thread.
The only reason I’d move to Canberra. You can totally have day trips by waking up at 6am (first lifts) and being home for Dinner.
Blizz, start camping, if you want to go to the snow bad enough you’ll make it work. I had this conversation with Lano in between him catching waves the other day at Narrabeen, if you’re making excuses for not doing something it just means you didn’t want to do it badly enough.
buyeah ...... .... .. .. .
I should probably invest in a good sleeping bag anyway but I will likely have a ton of people I know down there this year which will be nice.
can you use someone elses pass ?
No.
If you get busted both you and that person lose all privileges. Unless you confess to stealing it - then you’ll be charged.
In either case they’ll threaten you with fraud (the worst crime in Australia).
i wasnt planing to steal it, lol

What’s wrong with a few woollen blankets and a dooner. Though with a sub zero sleeping bag you rarely need anything more.
Last year I woke up having to get rid of all bedding (sleeping bag and blankets) because I was to warm, and that was with windows open! I guess I’m used to it.
It’s just the last hour before the sun rises when it gets really cold, it’s worth running the engine and cranking the heater. The added bonus is warm boots and warm clothing to begin the day (all kept infront of a heating vent).
I find i actually need them every now and then and they aren’t very exxy. It’s stupid for me not to have one.
At this stage will be own as much as possible on weekends, accomodation? who effing knows. may camp sometimes with NBG and Dyldo. Or if i get this job i will have a place down there.
Im happy to camp, but Dark has never been a camper! Maybe I can convince him to try it this yr!
Road works this year and for the next probably 2-3 years are going to be a problem for almost everyone that comes through Canberra. They are building a new road to replace Majura Road (the road that goes past the airport) and already it is creating nightmares for commuting. Especially during peak hour.
Have they finished the over taking lane in the “black spot” we discussed (were there is no overtaking for 60km)?
Road works have been constant on the Monaro for at least the last 5years - It will likely be constant for the rest of my snow life (which is the rest of my life).
So you are saying the road works stop in 5 years spaz? Oops, I have said too much
Jokes buddy
Won’t I feel like crap if you cark it in 5 years time
