Location: Hill End (Google Map http://goo.gl/maps/H3i5w)

Please note, you need to take the road from Bathurst in (Google Map http://goo.gl/maps/XQs9x), if you come from the Sofala end, you will have approx. 3km of dirt road which is not ideal

Here is a Sealed way to get there: (Google Map http://goo.gl/maps/JAiXZ)

Accomodation: Hill End BnB (http://www.hillendbandb.com.au) (Google Map http://goo.gl/maps/uhc87)

The accommodation people will do a pasta and pizza for us (approx $15 PH, they are licensed, but you can bring your own grog but it MUST stay upstairs) if 10 people or more are staying at the B&B

OR it will be dinner at the Hill End Pub:-

I am booked in. When I get there depends on how roundabout a way I go..the dirt road from Sofala sounds interesting

We booked into the Hills BnB as below

I might slip across and say hello either Saturday or Sunday. I wont stay as I'm only about 90 k's down the road from Hill End. I thought if it's good enough for a Trumpet or 2 than I wont feel so bad turning up on a V-strom!

Cheers,

Tony

We are hearing the road from Mudgee to Hill End is now sealed.....can anyone else confirm, would save us considerable time coming in from the north of the state.

Cheers

Chris

Abe · « **Reply #11 on:** April 24, 2013, 08:14:31 AM »

Hi Chris,

I will be able to confirm if the road is sealed, once you get there

.

May be PM Tony "Down Under" for the answer.

Cheers
Dave

Turned the ST Sports Tourers into Sports Trekkers on the last ride home from Ulysses AGM with Tony....Mr Tom Tom and Mr Garmin messed with our heads.....

but was a brilliant ride out the other side....

Trying to avoid the Pocket STocker stamping a mud hole in my forehead if i get the Gucci bike boots dusty.

Road from Mudgee to Hill End is sealed. Keep an eye out for tourist coaches in the twisty bits.

I should be there around lunchtime as well, if not too long after

Sicman · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 2013, 04:37:06 PM »

Only 5 more sleeps now

- Weather looks like being good too

Its nearly on ya bike time

saaz · « **Reply #19 on:** May 13, 2013, 04:47:38 PM »

And it just so happens that there was an article in the Canberra times about a photo collection, with a few from Hill End reproduced including where they were taken. So a walk around town to see what it is like now seems a plan. I will leave the article at the B&B if they want it.

Abe · « **Reply #20 on:** May 13, 2013, 05:47:31 PM »

OK, I will be collecting Mr & Mrs Packo from the Blue Mountains at 10am, then to Bathurst for lunch (pie shop, ride to "Skyline" and eat) maybe a tour around the race track then to Hill End about 1-2pm, a walk around the town.

Nat, I'll PM you a pick up point.

Looking forward to the ride, to clear the head.

Attendance so far, is:-

Packo & Katrina
Tony & Jeanette (No.1 Spit Stop)
Chris & Jean (in cage)
Saaz
Natman
Abe
Down Under (day ride)

Just post your name and what time (approx) you will be there and I'll make sure I'm there.

So who else can we entice into coming to this weekend away in historic Hill End ??

I have it on good authority that Abe & Tony will throw down this fortnights O/T cheque on the bar !!!

That's right isn't Boys ?? Or was that a surprise that I just let out of the bag !!!

Pockey the Pillion

Abe · « **Reply #22 on:** May 15, 2013, 11:50:57 AM »

What's O/T ????

Sicman · « **Reply #23 on:** May 15, 2013, 12:45:08 PM »

Firies get way too much money so they knock back taking money for OT

, Paramedics are way under paid so need their OT money for food

but I hear Nurses are well endowed with OT money so Looks like you can afford to go with your idea and shout the bar with cash Pockey

Cheers

ST2UP · « **Reply #24 on:** May 15, 2013, 03:15:06 PM »

Well how about that...... not somthing that happens every day..... a couple of firemen put a line of B/S on a Nurse

Dont worry I will get Pockey to buy you both your 1st drink, still both drinking Shirley temples

Looking forward to the weekend away lads.

Chris
