I'm looking for expressions of interest from the TAMON forum of people who would commit to participating in a Grand Tour of Tasmania.
This would be an extended trip - of perhaps a fortnight in duration and would circumnavigate and visit many destinations in Tasmania.
To that end, I am proposing the tour take place in Early November 2011.
This date selected to enable people time to arrange their annual leave etc. from work to participate, and co-incides with a Victorian holiday (Melbourne Cup Day) so that at least, Victorians would not need to take a full two weeks annual leave to join in, also that time of year is more conducive to a trip of this nature.
For my part, my wife and I would need to take annual leave each - my wife (Who STILL hates me driving the 'boy from a safety perspective) and does not feel comfortable travelling in it, has offered to come with us in our Land Cruiser and also act as a recovery vehicle (If necessary) as a measure of security for those who doubt their car's reliability.
Already we're committing to a sizable outlay to make this happen if it does, so I'm after serious responses.
I see no reason why this tour should not include TAMON members from any state in Australia or other places if it comes to that. - People coming from further afield would simply need to make arrangements to meet us in Melbourne or Devonport.
Aside fron the second Albury Gathering that I will start planning as soon as we get back from our holidays in mid August, I thought this would also be a worthwhile activity to organise if the interest and ability to commit is there.
Obviously, nothing is set yet. Personally, I've never been to Tassie (always wanted to go) and so am open to suggestions and assistance if you can help out.
I'm sure that with some open discussion and a little planning, we could make this an event to remember.
So... Are you up for a nice drive around Tassie with some other lunatics dedicated to these little cars?
) - That's why I posted this thread - to see who could/would come if it was planned out...
