Hi Climbers,

This year the end of year 2010/11 CAWA trip will again be to Albany. The dates are Monday 27 December until 03 January 2011.

We will be staying a private property about 20 km east of Albany. Unlike last year’s camp, it will be a reasonable distance away from mad mooing cows, roosters crowing at 2.30 in the morning, and far enough away from the road-trains so that everyone who wants a good night sleep can get one.

At the property there is a hot shower (with a view), flush toilet, a shed with a fridge and a gas stove, and a small undercover area. However you will need to bring your tent, sleeping bag and other camping gear.

To cover the cost of gas for the shower, and electricity, we will be charging $2 per night per person.

As usual, we will be making day trips to The Gap, Peak Head, West Cape Howe (who’s got a 4×4?), the Porongurups and any other places that people want to go to.

On New Years Eve we will probably be going to a restaurant in Albany. The last few years we have been going to a cheap and cheerful Chinese restaurant, but if someone wants to suggest somewhere else that isn’t too expensive, please do. Otherwise we could also just have a BBQ at the property.
