Max...hopefully you can get these directions to them.

From Holstein, go west to Hiway 6.

Go north on Hiway 6 thru Durham, Dornoch and Williamsford.

Then you'll arrive at Chatsworth where there will be a "Y" intersection which connects to Hiway 10.

Go north from Chatsworth (50 kph speed limit) past an Ontario Provincial Police station on the right.

Next intersection is identified as Grey Road 16 on the left, pointing to Keady. On the right, the same road is identified as the Holland-Sydenham Townline. Turn right.

Proceed 3 km on paved road until you reach a "T" intersection and the pavement ends. Turn right. Second driveway on the left is the place!

There will be "tactical" signs posted outside of Chatsworth.

2 Days to go, just a quick note that there is construction on the side road and closed road signs posted. The road is open and passable just go around the sign, hopefully they leave it that way for the weekend. Preparation is slightly behind as our grandmother passed away and we had funeral stuff etc to deal with this week. We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

Max, we did see Mark & Emma on Saturday. Both are happy and looking well! The weather here is 'iffy' right now, but good enough, although our two pet Aussies had to leave early on to get set for the wedding. It didn't rain til well after tea though, so I hope they had a good time!

CC7 was small but great this year... attended by a very tight bunch who've known each other for a long time, it was more like a good family gathering than a traditional 'show'. But you know what? Those are the best...

Pics will follow but Sally and I had a wonderful time there, and I swear I gained about five pounds this weekend! The 15cwt water truck and Stewart's T-16 were running after tea, then we wrapped things up before the storm hit.

I will have more to say in the next day or two but right now let me simply close by offering my thanks to the Caldwell clan once more for a job well done. They have done this seven years' running and it's time for them to take a break! We'll have something else sorted for southwestern Ontario for this time next year...

Thanks, Caldwells - you've earned it!

BTW, can you firm up ETA?
(1) Well, Sally's vee-hickle is standard, does that count? She's driven trucks before, albeit not army trucks...

(2) Embellish away, she knows bullshite when she hears it! The responses you get might prove interesting...

(3) Anticipate ETA your loc approx 1800 Friday depending on how hard it is to get out of the city. Will advise via cell enroute. Ack over.

(4) Will bring usual assortment of tripe and a few other bits & pieces.
