The Rover-Landers of BC

I'm in also!!!


The girls are off to Fashion Week in New York so I am good to go!!!!

Should be the bestest trip of the year me tinks!

For those of us only able to make Friday-Sunday work for this trip, will we be able to link up before the group starts the loop?

Hi All,

I have updated my first post with the "planned" agenda and more details ....

Cheers,
Andy

Trips booked! I will be arriving with the LR3 in Squamish Thursday morning to meet the crew. My 5 year old son, Henry, will be riding shotgun. Time to start planning and packing! The drinks cabinet will be restocked for those of you who helped drain it at Greg's this summer.

Matt

My son Scott and I will be attending.

The following week he is off to start his career in the Canadian Forces, so this is a great opportunity for us to hang out one last time before he heads off and do some Rovering together. :D

May meet you in Whistler on Thursday morning. Will confirm.

O'Doul and I will be coming, we will see you at Tim's.

Wont be able to make this one but feeling the need to get out into the wilderness soon!

Saw this on the forums, does it affect anything?

Hey Scott,

That's too bad. Hopefully you can make the next club run to get your wilderness quota! (what's with you and Mike this year!)

Thanks for the link, doesnt affect our loop, we are way higher up,

cheers,
Andy

See you all Thursday am.

We'll sadly it looks like I will have to pass on this trip. ( boo) have fun

If anyone has a spare hand held vhf I could borrow I would appreciate it. I don't want to miss out in all the witty banter during the trip.

Matt

I'm 100% coming. And my dad (Julian) will by tagging along on this one again too... looking forward to it!

So, my wife wanted to know exactly where we were going on this trip so I made her a map. Thought I'd share it here incase anyone else was interested in seeing the route.

The point locations are colour coated for the day's were at each location.

Two days remaining, hopefully everyone is preparing their Land Rovers and equipment for what is looking like a great adventure.
The weather forecast is very positive :sunny: , the Lillooet area showing full sunshine for all four days. There are not any camp fire bans in our campsite areas so that is also good news.

Matt, Im sure we can find a VHF hand held for you to monitor, I know Chris M has a couple ....
Jason, good to hear your confirmed, will you be meeting us Thursday morning?

All, I'm presuming everyone is meeting the group on Thursday morning as I havent been contacted with any other meeting points along the way. Let me know if you are planning on meeting us at another location?

Thanks Justin, my wife is very happy to see this as well! Apparently this is a common female thing?!

Hello all!
Would like to join on Friday morning, vehicle is stock LR3 - hopefully it will survive.

I will be in my (stock) LR3. I have take. It off road enough to be fairly confident in its ability in stock condition. What tires are you running?
At the very least, I would recommend removing the spare tire and storing it inside or on the roof if you have the space. It can bottom out on the trail or if you do get a flat on the trail you won't have to empty your truck to lower the tire down.

Matt

Hi George,

Your more than welcome to come along, your LR3 will be fine on these roads.
We will need you to complete the club waiver form, the easiest way to do this is to complete a Rover-Landers Membership form (the waiver is on the back of the form). If you go to the home page and click on the membership tab and just follow the prompts.
As a new member joining this late in the year your membership is also good for all of 2015.

When you say you'll be meeting us on Friday morning, I presume you mean at the Carpenter lake rec site?

Cheers,
Andy

Woot woot :D I shall also be partaking in this adventure, as of right now it looks like I might be meeting up with the convoy in lillooet at 4pm.

Hi Andy,

Yep, I will be joining at Carpenter lake. Will do the membership form as well. Thanks for welcome!

I'll be there at 9am on Thursday morning in Squamish.

GeorgeS ... I did the run last year with 255 55 18's with no problem. We're not going over anything crazy.

Andy
Phil Armstrong and I will be meeting you at Carpenter Lake!! We plan on driving up the canyon on Thursday.
Been a while so looking forward to it!!

Hey Andy and company

I am currently making my way down from Nunavut. I am going to try and make this run but I don't imagine I will be joining the group until lilooet at 4pm and if I miss that I will likely find you at the end of carpenter lake.

Cheers
Ryan
