[323_wagon_dude]

We have to start putting together some details for this run.

Whats the inteded route? Who driving point?

[biggy82]

allyuh make sure and take plenty pics for those who cant make the run *hint, hint*

[Stuckindmud]

For the south ppl , it might be easier to meet up in Manzan or in mayaro (by the KFC nah )

but first .. the route... ?

[boom]

Make a cook in the quarry last?

Rain falling right now WHOOOO!!!! Poor mazda

[bleedingfreak]

Subject to further discussion the proposed route is as follows:

Meet up at Tru Valu, Trincity Mall for 7AM
East to Sangre Grande
South to Biche then Rio Claro
East to Mayaro
South to Guayaguayare
Lunch, bathe, whatever.

Return trip: same as above until we reach Rio Claro.
From there, South people can do West to Princes Town, San Fernando etc.
Central and North people can go Northwest to Tabaquite, then to Chaguanas.

If you really want to meet us somewhere in south, Rio Claro would be the place.

This is just an informal route, which can be modified. Now Discuss

[Stuckindmud]

That sounding good.. Rio is the place to be.

How many ppl comin from south?

[wagon r]

freak......what about the trincity - cumuto - biche.....i never passed there before....as the grande part kinda normal....

[bleedingfreak]

Trincity - Cumuto - Guiaco - Sangre Grande - Biche.
We will have to reach back to Grande anyways to get onto the Biche Road. Unless you know a road from Guaico to Coal Mine? I think there is one.. But I dunno it. Very easy to get lost in there.

I could investigate...

[wagon r]

i know there's a road......i pass thru cumuto and know there's a road to get to grande but i also know there's one to get to biche.....will ask meh FiL....he would know.....

[bleedingfreak]

Good.. I saw it on Google Maps, but I dont really trust them. Nor do I trust my 1:10,000 maps I have here. These maps are OLD! circa 1974.

I know to get to Guaico from Cumuto. After there... You will have to get some good directions, because up there have no signs or anything. Getting disoriented and ending up in the central range behind Talparo aint nice.

[wagon r]

will do. once i get to the Y before yuh reach the biche forest, we safe. but is to get to the Y....

...will sort everything out tonight...

[bleedingfreak]

Boy... I get the directions from a partner who used to live in Tamana.

He draw map and thing for me with landmarks and directions!

So... Is Trincity - Cumuto - Guaico - Coal Mine - Biche

[bleedingfreak]

Just a general map showing the area of proposed route from Cumuto to Coal Mine

[Stuckindmud]

Hmmm
sounds like that is where the fun will be ..

where the south folk !! ??

[wagon r]

...dat is the route there......we takin it from the wallers side....


...this gearin up to be a nice run....can't wait.

[Stuckindmud]

I cant see the map (firewall ting), Can someone email it to me?

btw , is this an ALL tarmac route?

Also , if we have a head count early enough , i can organise some roti, if someone else volunteers the curry (not tuh put inthe diesel eh !!)

[wagon r]

^ all tarmac professor and mostly good roads too......but i'm sure we'll come across a few muddy spots if we want to...

[323_wagon_dude]

I noticed an abandoned railway line on the map....

[Stuckindmud]

hmm
Railway line .. Mmmmmm

mud volcanoes on the way?

Devils woodyard is on the way for the southerners

[bleedingfreak]

I noticed an abandoned railway line on the map....

Yeah see if you could drive thru it nah... Yo might need a plow or a blade in fron the Hilux

[bleedingfreak]

So...

Trincity - Wallerfield - Cumuto ?
or
Trincity-St. Helena - Las Lomas - Cumuto?

[323_wagon_dude]

I think the st helena - las lomas route might be more interesting. Most ppl already know how to get to wallerfield.

[323_wagon_dude]

PS, dont forget to let your co-driver let muddy draws know about this run

[bleedingfreak]

muddy drawers daughter's birthday is then... I doubt he will be coming.

[wagon r]

we takin the st. helena route....did that one time and it was nice.....a bit long but nice....

[venum]

i still dey for now

[bleedingfreak]

we takin the st. helena route....did that one time and it was nice.....a bit long but nice....

It's good to take that route because it will bring us out in Cumuto. Whereas if you pass on the highway, we will have to turn off the highway and drive about 15 min to reach Cumuto junction.

The road is rarely used, is fairly smooth, passes thru forest reserve as well.

[sweeks]

I guess I'll be learning some new routes.

What's the estimated driving time on this run?

[bleedingfreak]

Trincity - St. Helena - Cumuto. = 45 minutes.
Cumuto - Coal Mine = 20 minutes. Never did it so I cant say.
Coal Mine - Biche - Rio Claro = 75-90 minutes.
Rio Claro - Mayaro = 30 minutes.
Mayaro - Guayaguayare = 30 minutes.

TOTAL Driving Time from Trincity - Guayaguayare = 3:30 - 4:00 hrs!!!
This is without adding time for breaks and stops and lunch, etc.

Guys: Note well! This is a LONG run!

I suggest bumping up the meeting time to 6:30 AM.

[wagon r]

the drive back will be shorter....as some may split and head south from Rio while the rest head central.....and most of the roads are in good condition, so driving should be easy....
