Yea, I'm free Australia day and I don't think I have plans next weekend (31/01) this sat/sun I'm busy and work 9-5 weekdays

pretty sure I don't have plans weekends after 31st.
I will have some free time between now and then that I will be able to check access to the main bunkers and also see if some not so known bunkers have been discovered by graff yet

also if anyone else from newy have ideas and keen to come I'd love some extra input to get the most out of the day

(is there drains in Newcastle?)

and with the Sydney day what are we going to plan? never urbexd in Sydney before

We could pretend to be in a third world country and ride on top.

Those photos look good. All within riding distance you say? Hm. Oh, so how long would the Newcastle stuff take? Should we do a Sydney explore on the same day or would that be pushing it? I don't have a lot of free days and we should probably organise something in the first week of February so I can take a day or two off.

Of course alternatively, we could be hardcore and camp out in an abandonment or cheap hotel.

I don't mind taking a few "sick" days during the week im sure I can work them in where ever.
also I keep forgetting about the trains, they stop at Hamilton now so a little more travel (not too much) and all the bunkers in town are within walking distance from one another (depending on fitness) but if I drive it wont be an issue.

camping sounds fun and there would be ample places to stay (crowne plaza

)

Okay, so weekdays are whenever for you, Sini and weekdays after 31/Jan inclusive.

Midget · 19 Jan 2015, 8:08 pm

Oh damn, Aydun is only weekends, yeah? I think Saturdays would be a good choice as Sunday tends to be a little extra pay for me.

sini · 19 Jan 2015, 8:26 pm

Saturdays fine for me!

Midget · 19 Jan 2015, 8:30 pm

Awesome. Aydun, a Saturday in the future? Might not be the 31st as I'm not sure whether I can change a shift so soon but I will check back with you all tomorrow.

Aydun · 19 Jan 2015, 8:51 pm

I can take a weekday off next month, defs not this month though. I'm actually busy at work

But otherwise weekends suit! Saturday or Sunday.

And as for Syd, I know a few nice drains we can visit

Next month sounds good as long as it's the first half of the month. Basically as close as possible to the beginning of the month.

So we got something for Sydney.

What about Middle Head? I actually haven't been there yet and wouldn't mind going, but only if the rest of you want to go.

Aydun · 22 Jan 2015, 9:22 am

First half of month sounds good!

I'd go to middle head. I Think I was sleeping still when we had a mini expo there.

Awesome.

Oh, I might actually be able to free up 31st this month. I'll have a talk with my manager, but everyone would be up for an explore on the 31st, yea?

Midget · 22 Jan 2015, 12:17 pm

Okay, that failed. So now I've put down 7th of February, is everyone good for that?

Aydun · 22 Jan 2015, 12:59 pm

As of now, I can definitely say probably.

So we'll be doing Newcastle first.

sini · 22 Jan 2015, 4:10 pm

Sounds good, Lock it in!

sini · 02 Feb 2015, 6:46 pm

BUMP,

Who's up for Saturday?

Yessiree!

Midget · 02 Feb 2015, 9:06 pm

Me too.

dodger · 04 Feb 2015, 3:59 pm

I'd be keen on doing some exploring on Saturday depending on the time. Has this already been taken offline to discuss locations etc?

Midget · 04 Feb 2015, 7:20 pm

Not yet, we'll be doing that soon.

sini · 04 Feb 2015, 7:22 pm

seems like lots of interest for Sydney, personally I haven't done any syd maybe we need to set a date for Sydney as well

Aydun · 04 Feb 2015, 7:35 pm

A serious question? I do, but it's nice-ish so not too keen on drain cycling with it if that's what you're asking!

enternamehere · 04 Feb 2015, 8:31 pm

I would be keen to join, would this saturday be for sydney or newcastle?

Aydun · 04 Feb 2015, 8:50 pm

Bike serious, probably. But not for in drains. Just for general getting around

And prooobbbably Newcastle, thanks to our gracious host, sini.

theedge · 04 Feb 2015, 9:41 pm

I would have preferred Sunday. Places are getting harder to find from what I have heard up there.

I'll need to check if I can do Saturday as I could be busy checking the progress of work on my parent's house.
