ADE - drive through Adelaide Hills - 14/04 (Sat Night)

vak82 · Postby **vak82** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 11:48 am

Hi all,

Since I've got nothing planned for next Saturday (14/04) night , I was hoping to organise an unofficial spirited cruise up the Adelaide Hills. For minimal traffic, I was thinking maybe starting some time late in the afternoon (5:00pm meet for a 5:30pm departure) and then finishing off with Pizza in the evening.

I'm relatively new to Adelaide so I'm up for any suggestions as to which roads/route to take. I've been told that Deviation, Lobethal and Gorge Roads are quite popular. If this is the case, then we can probably start from Greenhill Rd and finish up in Newton. It would be great if somebody who's been on these roads before can lead the way.

Feel free to add suggestions as to where to go and what to do afterwards. If any of you want to have dinner afterwards, let me know numbers so I can find and book a place to eat a week beforehand.

All sensible invites are welcome and please spread the word with other forumites.

Cheers,
Danny

Damn... That's a real pity. What time to you work till?

We can have dinner first and go for the cruise afterwards. There'll definately be no traffic by then

Only problem is trying to keep the food down during the drive :oops:

. And if it's late enough, you can join us after work.

Are we talking about the sandwich bar? (I thought something more greasy would be more approapriate for a Saturday night

)

I'll be happy to make the booking once we can get all the numbers together. Cheers Vu for the suggestion

Sounds good guys!

But im away on that weekend... :cry:

doh. up in the flinders ranges..

It would be great if somebody who's been on these roads before can lead the way.

i think this means almost all of you will be racing for pole position ...

OK... Meeting details:
When: Saturday 14, April
