put me down, thanks Kevin
Please include me on this, thanks.
Camping sounds good, so I'll put myself down for that, too.
Greg
Please count me in. Didn't realise the trips organised a little ways in the future. Maybe by then a solution to getting up to the start of Treeroot. As Dieselcon said we might take a look down ourselves on a recon mission!
Looked at my roster Camping sounds good. Better service the chain saw thou.
Yes for the trip, maybe for camping.
Can you please put me and Vinnie (vin 18u) down for this one. Been wanting to check out Yalwal for ages. We going anywhere near Six Stage?? coz that looks pretty kewl :D
Dieselcon
17-05-11, 05:42 PM

You have limited the number of cars to 12+1, that's 13 right but your list goes to 12b. Does that mean that there is one more place available (he said hopefully)? Put me down on the trip list or reserve please.
Put me on the list too...

Everyone sign up if you want to come along, we can always split the group into two. There are pinstripe trails that not everyone will want to try.
So just to make it clear then Wolfe, there is no limit on this run.
We can split up into groups on the day to cover the trail ratings of all who attend.
I & anyone else that wants to, will be heading down on Saturday & camping over night.
Big Fire & a beer blanket to keep nice & warm.

Please count Redrubi in! I cut my teeth as a kid around Yalwal & Tianjarra Falls.
Haven't been there for years, but when I was posted to Nowra 1996 use to wheel around there a bit!

So who is camping down there? I was thinking about camping near the dam
yes please done a few tracks down there awhile ago would love to go back
Can I get on the reserve list please
Awesome area. As wolfe said, there are some pin stripping tracks that will - well.... let's say, change the look of your vehicle, but is not mandatory to travel these. Hopefully another group will opt for the less severe options.
Can I get on the reserve list please
There is NO reserve list anymore your just in. Read the last 4 or 5 posts. The decision was to open it to more than one run.
Some of us are camping down there for the weekend.
aussiejk
03-06-11, 01:22 PM
Yeah pin striping gets done for free down there... Thanks tree's I think that where I got my first pin stripes back when the JK was about a year old
Sweet i might be keen to camp. I'll know for sure within the week.
Pls put me down. Keen to check the flex (or lack thereof) of my mopar (lovels) coils
Please add me!!
:O What, Jaffas going on a trip!! ... well, knowing I will have a new bub by then, I hope I can go!!

OK I’m officially confused about the camping (but that is a nearly perpetual state for me so I'm probably missing something really obvious). The trip is posted for the 20th of August, isn’t the 20th a Saturday?

Yes Tony it's a Sunday. However I can only speak for myself but I'm going down Saturday & camping over night
Edit: Opps should check things first. My bad, but the trip was organized for the Sunday.

24-06-11, 11:40 AM
Well if the 20th of Aug is a Sunday then there is something strange happening in “Tonyland” because every calendar that I can lay my hands on lists the 20th as a Saturday. Lets not worry about the date for a second, is the trip on the Sat or Sun?
Might be a good idea to request that people post the day and the date to reduce confusion. I once turned up for a trip on another forum on the wrong day - must have happened before. Anyway my calendar says 20th August is a saturday.
Date altered in original posting---- Run is for Sunday 21/08/2011........... Camping on the Saturday night is an individual choice...................

List is up dated as Wolfe is away presently.
AussieJK has suggested camping near the dam ?? Campers will need to decide their location, travelling down on Saturday to Yalwal ( Nowra),etc, and let me know so the meeting times etc can be added to the posting.
The Sunday departure for Yalwal remains as posted by Wolfe.
There is no limit at this time for the number of Jeeps wanting to attend, Great variety of tracks around there....:)...........:).

The dam is Danjera Dam. It is on Yalwal Rd not far from Nowra and there is a camping area right next to it. If you follow Yalwal rd on Google Maps you can't miss it.
It would seem to be a waste of time asking the campers to drive back into Nowra to meet the group only to have to drive back again so since it is already in the bush might I suggest that we make the camping area the last meeting point. How does 9am sound?
Im a maybe, hopefully have my jeep ready by then.
Im keen to come on this trip.

Hi,
I'm new to NSW, new to the club and new to 4wding. I would like to tag along for the day.
Anyone else camping with kids? My eldest three (7, 6 and 4) have been pestering me to break out the tent.
Dieselcon
11-08-11, 11:39 AM
Mine will be there, both girls, 6 and nearly 13 (what a headache lol). Both excited abou camping out next weekend. Hope weather holds out....
Out......eeerrr....Attendence list needs to edited/updated as I no longer can do so........................Stephen T. ..........
Just wondering, given the large number of Jeeps of possibly varying capability, is there a plan to split into different groups, and are there enough people who know the area well enough to lead the groups? Sitting in a 20 vehicle congo line wouldn't be fun :o
That's a good idea DK. That's alota jeeps :)

That was the original idea to split the group on t5he Sunday morning.
I will not be 4wding as I still don't have the ZJ on the road, but will be going down to camp Saturday & leaving early Sunday to head to work in the Mountains.
On a lighter side, I stripped down the Dana 60 yesterday only to find it has 35 spline axles.
For the people heading down on the sunday. Are you still meeting at Heathcote Macca's? I'll be coming from Appin so will try and meet you as you come past, somewhere near the top of Bulli Pass.
Oh Yeah, I also vote for splitting the groups ;) Means more wheeling time :)
definately splitting groups first group will take main trail up monkey gum second group will do trail across log bridge with bush pinstriping. then on to the steps for some fun. Anyone not wanting the pin striping, that knows the area, willing to lead the first group?
If there is someone that knows some other trails in the area, please let me know asap by pm

Have checked the topo maps.
918
This is the camping spots in yalwal. It's a good + 30 minutes from wombat flats but I think there are a few tracks we can explore there on Saturday night and then head to monkey gum on Sunday.
919
Or we can camp at wombat flats, but it could get noisy with bikes using this area.
Wolf your plan sounds good for Sunday, All please note thAt all trAcks in yalwal will cause scratches on your rig.
Happy to take a group up money gum while the other group does log bridge track.
920
For those coming early on saturday I intend on checking the creek access to log bridge and also to dusties/treeroot. Possibly will walk along 6 stager. Kev and I checked out the entrance to 6 staged but there were many fallen trees blocking the entrance to the rock garden.
Hope the weather keeps nice so we can make the most camping.:)
---
Well what are the final plans then?
kiwi kev
15-08-11, 07:18 PM
Jose & I meeting Sat mid/late morning , I will need to take a chainsaw as a few weeks ago we could not get past fallen tree when we were checking out 6 stager .
Jose knows area best so we will confirm camping site/meeting point later this week .
Why is that I'm nearly always left off the list - Am I missing something? Happy to pull out if you think my WJ is not suitable for the track
So who's heading down for the day on Sunday?
I'm charging the video camera now, plan to make up a video for the AJOR/freight management comp with the footage from the day :) Hope the weather is good to us

Question: will Grade B be too hard for our Cherokee? Not sure whether to go or not.
A 2 inch lift would be good (otherwise you will scrub a lot up monkey gum) but A/T or mud tyres would be a must for this area after the rain or the use of right foot will be required. Each time we have gone up this track it's different.
This might count us out - as we are riding on SLICKS - time to buy a new set or maybe the one's Ryan's got for sale!
geez when are you going to buy those tyres?
Can anyone report on weather conditions for the yalwal area?

Forecast slight rain...
http://m.weatherzone.com.au/nsw/illawarra/nowra-naval-po
3.4 mm for today.
Not bad. Will review again tomorrow
Unfortunately, my TJ is still with my mechanic waiting for a reconditioned ECM to arrive from the USA, so I am unlikely to be able to make Yalwal on the weekend. There is some small chance it will arrive tomorrow & can be installed, and then he can start to fix all the other things that were destroyed when the voltage regulator failed on the last club trip. I'll advise definitely on Friday.

confirming that I plan to attend for the sunday only.
im coming down saturday afternoon and meeting up for the camping, where are we meeting? ive never done this area before and just need directions. Cheers
I am 95% certain for camping now, so, if anyone is heading down from Sydney on Saturday could we maybe meet up and head down in convoy?
The camping place without the bikes sounds like a good idea Jose. Will need directions or a guide to get in there though :)
I'm having problems with the brakes on my xj and it's looking doubtful for me camping on Saturday. Can someone step up and lead the Saturday trip. If I can get off work early on Friday and work all day sat, I may get it ready for sunday.

Ready and able for Saturday to lead trip. For those coming down on Saturday we can meet at south nowra Maccas at 830 and then head into yalwal at 900.
For those coming camping or later in the day I will post directions soon. Will meet you at the camp site.
We will be on SJC ch15.
Will definitely be camping away from the bikes... Looking forward to a nice camp oven dinner Saturday night, beers and a good laugh.
Cheers

Traveling from Sydney
Head from Sydney to south nowra, near the industrial estate. There is a maccas on your left and a servo.... Fuel up here and then head back north and turn left into albatross rd. Go straight through the two round-abouts and take the first street to your right.this should be yalwal rd. Travel on this rd for about 15 minutes until you start heading up a hill there is an old house to your right and a turn off on your left (this is also yalwal rd but it's a dirt road). Follow this until you get to the camp site. ~30 minutes.
Hope this helps

Sweet, see you there Saturday evening...
I am a confirmed late withdrawal from this trip. I have just found that my replacement ECM was only shipped through the US Postal Service in Miami 24 hours ago, so it will certainly not arrive in time to be fitted and tested before the weekend. I hope everyone enjoys the weekend.

Sorry Guys I have to pull the pin on this trip for the weekend due to inclement weather. Considering the number of people attending and and the potential damage to the tracks we could cause I have no other choice than to postpone, I will reshedule for a later time.
