Does this mean you will be coming to the meet? :like:

Sure does - Will plan to arrive Sunday afternoon sometime - Will confirm exact time later
It's so great that quite a few of you will be there Sunday Monday - Thanks guys ....  :woohoo:
I have the location details - And will have a car
Maybe someone could PM me a couple of mobile nos. just in case.

However will anybody be able to lend me a bit of tent floor space, a karrimat and a sleeping bag?
H - I am sure you can fit all that on your bike - along w all your other gear for your 100m ride or what ever it was  ;)
I may be able to organise some of those if no-one can - But would be much easier if someone could help.
I really don't need much - I am used to roughing it and back-packing etc.

Let me know plans for food - I am pretty sure a bottle of malt and a few beers will arrive with me!

Can't believe this has all worked out   :tu:  It's even a bit freaky   :o

I will also check my small tent to see if it's still serviceable

Hey

As mentioned I will be flying back to the UK from visiting rellies in Switzerland
.... (Or rellos - as we say in Oz ..... All nicknames in Oz - of which there are many - end in 'o' !! ;)

What I forget to mention was I will be coming back from a small town you have probably never heard of .... Zurich
However you will all have heard of a much more significant and important town near to Zurich called .... Ibach      :o   
..... Not sure I'll make it there tho !     :(

I dunno, at a premier flight school here, it's +200 euros per hour when it comes to instructor flights, according to a pdf from them. I'm pretty sure that maintenance and fuel costs for a Cessna 172 are much lower.  :)

That doesn't sound so bad - we get lots of people from the UK learning to fly here because it is cheaper.

C172 here is about NZD$220/hour, add $30/hour for an instructor. Maintenance would cost a lot, I imagine insurance would too. Not sure about the 172 but I imagine it burns at least 35L/hour.
