Hey guys & gals...
Just wondering who of you run thredbo DH & what you reckon of it???,,,how`s the accomodation ???,,,is there a camping ground close by(ish) to park my 4x4 monster truck moble home???...is it worth camping in the truck or are the 5 day camp deals that "Rawnrg" do worth it???...& heaps more ???
any info from anyone who`s been there & done that would be tops.
i`m thinking of a week long trip down there & with maybe 5 or 6 people to share the costs...fuel/food/accomodation etc
looks like a sh!t hot track!!!
I`ve snow ski-ed Perisher/Blue Cow a couple of times ,so i know where to go & how it all works, but i got the trips for free with everything thrown in,,,this time i`m paying :-( & was hoping there was a camping ground close by to save money.
thanks in advance

Ok,,,done some homework & camping is free & just down the road from Thredbo (only 7kms away & right on the river)
5 days riding is $253(ish) & only fuel & food on top of that & we`re there.
so far i have 4 maybes,,,Jess dawg, Dj, stew & me...anyone else keen???
would really want only 2 or 3 more to make a full monster truck/mobile home,,,have sink, stove, fridge & hot water shower with 300 litres of water tanks underneath.
approx $100 per person fuel,,,& about $50 for food for the week ,,,plus some spending/drinking money.
easy-peasy,,,i`m ready to go today!!!!!!!!!! ;-)
who can come & when can you go???

Thanks guys,,,i was wonderin if my posts were actually able to be seen there for a min...
we still havn`t cemented a date yet,,,but we`re narrowing it down...trying to get a handfull of people organised for a DH trip can be more difficult that an army to war.
Ruthlessgirl,,,i can assure you that we`ll be hittin whatever pub/bar/nite club is around :-)
Thanks acidupgrade...would be cool to here some feedback, when you`re back,,,get some pics if you can hey? thanks!!!
& shauno,,,we might be very late March or very early April so if you`re keen then, give us a holla...we may have someone oull out by then anyways.
cheers all,
