Hi Guys,

Stuart from ACT Jeep TrAction. I have booked Blue Range Hut for our exclusive use. Fees are $8 per person (over 15 years of age) per night, payable to myself as Treasurer (a receipt will be provided). ACTJT will pick up the $63 per night exclusive use fee and other fees. No fire wood will be available so please bring a bag or two. The campground can only accommodate 2-3 camper trailers in the car park, but has an abbundance of space for tents and swags.

I was going to run a BBQ, but I have discovered our club BBQ has gone AWOL, so perhaps we can do a camp oven cook off or something.

We will run a C/C- grade trip to Flea Creek-Webbs Ridge-McIntyres Hut and back out via Mt Coree.

I will also run a C+/B grade trip to Corin. Corin always has a good chance of bush pin striping, so if you are precious about you paint work, then you might want to give this one a miss.

We will also look at doing a night drive if people are interested, but I will wait to see who is interested and come up with something that is appropriately graded.

I will be in camp at 4pm on the Friday (I will be on UHF27), and look forward to seeing you all then.

Regards,
Stuart

[uncaged123]

On behalf of SJC many thanks to Stuart and his ACTJC colleagues for their efforts in planning this weekend. Would any members have charcol bar b que they could bring along, or do members wish to use their camp ovens?

Regards Rob

[Dieselcon]

Bugger... Will be still sorting through Boxes and possibly still Painting new Home... We are Out...:grief:...
Cheers

jose

[uncaged123]

No problem Jose, I'll catch you up on another trip. Stuart has advised me by email that he has been informed their BBQ packed it in, and he requesting their club purchase a new one.

[stevet]

What about the club BBQ??...........

[Wolfe]

If required I can make sure our bbq is available

[uncaged123]

Lets wait for confirmation whether ACTJT is going to purchase a new bbq before we offer to bring our. If Stuart (ACTJT) advise me they will not be purchasing one before the planned weekend then we will offer to bring our.

[Heidi]

Hi we will be attending thanks. We where going to bring the camper

[jbrad]

Sorry team, I'm out. Other family committments have arisen.

[XJeepers]

Thanks Guys,

I can confirm our club will unlikely have a BBQ prior to this event. I think we will be luck to have agreement before Xmas LOL.

ACTJT will be happy to do either a BBQ if someone is willing to transport one (I can supply a gas bottle to save transporting one from Sydney), otherwise we will be just as happy to do camp ovens :)

[uncaged123]

As ACTJT has confirmed they will not be able to purchase a new bbq before our planned camping weekend, can we use our club bbq? ACTJT offered to provide gas tanks.

[Wolfe]

shouldn't be a problem

[DanD]

How and when do we pay the entry fee?

[uncaged123]

I will email Stuart from ACTJT and have him put a thread to advice how and when to pay the camp site fees.

Please also see Stuart thread with the web link to find the camp site, and please note what channel he advised to contact him when arriving on Friday. Someone should tune their radio to channel 15 after arriving at the camp site goe those who may forget Stuart stated channel.

[DanD]

As the fires are burning up here in the Blue Mountains, I'm posing this whilst I look into options also - in the event of total fire ban - how does one cook a meal? I have a trangia burner that, even though it uses methylated spirits, would be worried to use it in the bush in a total fire ban situation - does anyone else have a way to cook up during a total fire ban?

Yes - have done a bit of research in the past for touring. In NSW;

NSW RURAL FIRE SERVICE Total Fire Ban Rules

During a Total Fire Ban no fire may be lit in the open and all Fire permits are suspended. This includes incinerators and barbecues which burn solid fuel, e.g. wood or charcoal.

Can I use an electric barbeque?

You can use an electric barbeque for cooking as long as it is under the direct control of a responsible adult, who is present at all times while it is operating, and no combustible material is allowed within two metres at any time it is operating.

Can I use a gas barbeque?

You can use a gas barbeque under the following conditions:
It is under the direct control of a responsible adult, present at all times while it is operating;
No combustible material is allowed within two metres at any time it is operating;
You have an immediate and continuous supply of water; and
The barbeque is within 20 metres of a permanent private dwelling such as a home
The barbeque is within a picnic area and the appliance is approved by Council, National Parks or State Forest

And in the ACT;
In particular, a gas or electric barbeque may be used under the following conditions:


The barbeque is under constant adult supervision and attendance;
The ground within three metres of the barbeque is cleared of all materials which could burn; and
There is a continuous supply of water that can be applied to the barbeque and the surrounding area.

o The barbeque is within 20 metres of a permanent private dwelling such as a home;
o The barbeque is within a picnic area and the appliance is approved by Council, National Parks or State Forest

Great info, I thank you! Will hopefully duck down to a local camping chain tomorrow to pick up one of their cheapy gas burners! Bit offputting re the being within 20 meters of a permanent dwelling & in a picnic area if camping out though...

*edit* just though that i'd mention that I'll be taking multiple litres of water with me (thanks Aldi!)

[ick72]

Dan if you don't want to buy one I have a portable BBQ with lid and bottle

[DanD]

Dan if you don't want to buy one I have a portable BBQ with lid and bottle

Thanks boss! will have a look at the chain stores tomorrow after going to the airport for 7am hehe but yeah, might take you up on the offer yet! (if you dont put your name down as coming to the trip!!!)

[uncaged123]

Thanks Dave, I will maintain a regular check of the ACT conditions and regulations concerning the use of bbq and gas cooking applicances.
Cheers Rob

[XJeepers]

How and when do we pay the entry fee?

It can paid in cash on arrival and I will provide a receipt. This will reimburse ACTJT for the individual camp costs (the club will be writing a cheque to TAMS for the entire weekend which will include the camping fees). I can also post the clubs account details if people would prefer to transfer direct into the clubs account?

[Heidi]

You can always plan for a cold dinner. We always carry a few can's of food and cold food alternatives in summer incase of a fire bans.

[dobbo56]

Ive got to pull out, No Funds!! rego and a service has drained the bank. Next time. Doggy Dave..

As far as i'm concerned - whatever is easiest for you! If you want pre-pay or on the day, just let me know!

Also, what are the rules re bringing mates to this? I have one mate that I'm bringing along in the JK but, was wondering if: would it be possible to bring more if the other peeps were driving a sedan ie. to carry more shit for us haha - the appropriate entry fees, etc would be paid, etc - but they would all come wheeling in my JK and leave the sedan parked @ the campsite? If this is possible - is a sedan (falcon / commodore) able to get to the site? thinking 1-2 extra people max in the sedan

[uncaged123]

Hi Dan, if your friends will be riding with you I don't see any problems with that. I don't know much about the camp location so I can't say whether your friend falcon is able to travel on the track to the camp site, however check the website Stuart has a link for in his earlier thread.

Regards

[SteveC]

Thanks for organising all this.

Can I ask what areas/parks/reserves is the actual 4wding you suggest?

[DanD]

Probably not the level of detail you were after mate, but this was posted previously:


We will run a C/C- grade trip to Flea Creek-Webbs Ridge-McIntyres Hut and back out via Mt Coree.

I will also run a C+/B grade trip to Corin. Corin always has a good chance of bush pin striping, so if you are precious about you paint work, then you might want to give this one a miss.

[uncaged123]

Thanks DanD, I am awaiting detailed maps of proposed trails to be down loaded to this thread. Please keep an eye out this email, also check Stuart's link for the camp site location map.

[Steven.Boyd]

Counting down the days. Looking forward to getting out on some new trails and catching up with the act jeep crew

[XJeepers]

Hi guys,

Slight change of plans. I found out today that my Heep will not be mechanically ready, so I will now be leading the C grade trip in the wifes new WK2 :)

The B grade trip is now going to be run in the Brindies instead of Corin. Sorry to all those that wanted to go to Corin, but Paul (the other member) is not familiar with Corin and wants to stick to what he knows.

I will try and do some maps to upload, but I am not very good at these technical things, so it might take me a day or so to figure it out.

Looking forward to meeting up, only 11 sleeps to go:)

Falcon/commodore should be able to access just fine. The road to the camp is pretty well graded.
Here is a map to get to blue range hut.

[uncaged123]

Hi Stuart,

You can come in my jk or with another SJC member to do the Corin "B" grade trip, and arrange another ACTJT member to lead th "C" grade trip.

[XJeepers]

Hi Stuart,

That sounds like it could be a plan. I will call Paul today and have a chat with him :)

[Steven.Boyd]

Once camp is set up is there somewhere we can secure things that we don't want to take out on the day trips? How safe is our gear ?

[Nekked]

I'm excited and cannot wait... I hope my jeep is done by then. It's been a month now since I've seen it.

[uncaged123]

Steve, as I have not seen the site we're camping at I'm not sure what there. I'll sms Stuart to seek what is available and request he put a thread for everyone information.

If nothing is available I'll bring my camper where we can secure all items in the trailer compartment.

Cheers

[Wooders]

As much as it pains me to say it - I'm probably not going to make it now.
I have promised my wife I;d have some renovations (that I;ve been working on for nearly 4 years) finished before Xmas.
I trust me I'd much rather be on the trails than building a laundry from scratch.

[uncaged123]

Hi Dave, what area do you live in and what are you looking at doing with your laundry. I am retired and was a carpenter/builder, if you need help.

Cheers Rob

[Wooders]

Its at Granville. Problem is its not where we live.
This weekend is finishing the laundry floor (membrame etc) and tiling. Then fitting the bath, vanity & shower screens.

[Wolfe]

Unfortunately I am unable to attend, I have the same problem as Dave (i'm married) and also have a Xmas deadline. Rob If you're looking for work I've got heaps.
Ps if you still need bar-b-q just let me know.

[uncaged123]

Dave

Make sure the corners in the floor are fully sealed when doing the membrane. As a Building Inspector with Fair Trading I've mediated a complaint where water leaked from a pin hole in one corner. Are you doing the membrane and floor tiling this weekend or just the membrane? I don't live far from Granville if you like to have a chat at next week meeting regarding the fitting of the bath and showerscreen.

Wolfe

I have a talk with you at next week meeting.

Cheers Rob

[Wooders]

Rob,
We've already started the membrane, this is an extra layer.
So I'm hopeful that if I knock it over early on Sat that I'll be into Tiling on Sunday.
But even then I prefer to do the floor first, then probably next weekend will do the walls (as I think that approach gives a better result when speed of the job isn't as important ;)). (As opposed to doing walls then floor).
Bath is a freestanding cast iron jobbie - so just need to line it up with the drainage - oh yeah and do another coat of the refreb paint before fitting. So I'm not really expecting any surprises.
The shower is mostly done . Commercial base has been in place for months I just need to buy & erect the screens themselves (once she decides once & for all what style ;)).

End of the day no matter what we do it will be a huge improvement over what was there - lino over rotten floor boards, heck not even hot water just an old cooper heater. And the Laudry was a concrete tub in the "bathroom".

[XJeepers]

Once camp is set up is there somewhere we can secure things that we don't want to take out on the day trips? How safe is our gear ?

We might be able to secure stuff in the hut, I cannot remember if it has locking slide bolts or not. I will bring a couple of padlocks to see if we can. My missuss is contemplating coming out for the day just to chill out, but she has not confirmed it yet. I will have my car out on site, so people can lock valuables in my car. The campground will be locked up and not a lot of people go out that way.

I believe Rob is bringing his camper, and I imagine he would be open to the idea of storing gear in that aswell.

[XJeepers]

I have been trying to do routing of the trips in oziandroid, but as I mentioned before, I am not so good at these techy thing. I have the maps (in oziexplorer format) of the areas we are traveling and I will provide these to Rob today to distribute to those people that want them (I can't even work out how to upload them to the form :hopelessness: ).

[AV8]

On OziAndroid, if you have Log Track To File ticked in your configuration/Track menu, you should be able to access your .plt files externally by using "My Files", then it's just a matter of copy and paste files. For example:

My Files, Oziexplorer,Data, choose file

it should look like this
/sdcard/OziExplorer/Data/TrackLog 2012-03-05.plt

or point it to there to upload.

hope this helps.

I havent driven the tracks with any mapping software to generate a plot file. I was trying the routing thing, but the whole thing became beyond my capabilities.

Anyway, I had a brainwave today. Here is where the maps can be downloaded at http://maps.festy.org/downloads/ozi/NSW/25k/

Maps for the easy tracks are:
86271S_Umburra
86272n_Cotter_Dam

Maps for hard tracks are:
86272S_Tidbinbilla
86261N_Corin_Dam

[uncaged123]

Thanks Stuart

All those coming on the weekend please note Stuart's reference web site and print off the maps along with the map to the camp site.

Rob,
Can you confirm that we can take our camper. Melissa has been talking to our friends in ACTJT (we are ex members) and there is some confusion that you may have said no camper trailers?
Cheers
Keith

Hey Keith,

Blue range hut only has room for 2/3 campers max. I was trying to get access to the actual campgrounds for the camper trailers, but was not successful in that request, which means camper trailers are confined to car park. I couldn't find anything near by that could be booked in advance that could also accommodate camper trailers. Roof top tents obviously ok, and rear folds MIGHT be able to fit, but it would be tight and at your own risk of having to camp outside the grounds altogether and of the side of the track.

[XJeepers]

Can I confirm someone from SJC is bringing the BBQ and I am brining the gas bottle for the communal BBQ on Saturday night?

[Steven.Boyd]

How much room is there for swags and tents ?

[uncaged123]

Hi Keith, Heidi said they were bringing their camper, I said I would bring my camper a few days ago as members were concerned about securing items.Bring your camper and if there is not enough room then I will leave my camper packed away secured.

Regards Rob

[XJeepers]

How much room is there for swags and tents ?
Mountains of it :)

[XJeepers]

There is also plenty of room in the Hut.

[Keef_7]

Thanks forthe clarrification Stu and Rob. Our camper fits in a normal carpark space so it won`t take much room. Not like the Taj Ma Camper Stu :)

[uncaged123]

Hi Steve, I have not been there myself but Stuart from ACTJT said there room for tents/swags. Its camper-trailers where area availability is limited. However there is a little space in the hut and under its awning should you wish to set up your sleeping bag.

Regards Rob

[XJeepers]

Definitely no room for Taj Ma Camper :(

We have sold the Taj Ma Camper and bought a Jayco Expanda…. Doin it style baby :)

[Steven.Boyd]

We spoke at the meeting last night and Alex one of the SJC members will be bringing a BBQ down on the Friday so if you could still provide the gas bottle that would be great.

It was a great weekend where two good clubs came together in friendship to enjoy some great 4wd driving, we've looking at further outings together. Those who missed this weekend be sure to come along to future joint clubs outings.

[Jeep11]

Hey guys and girls, what a great weekend just like to say thank you to the ACT guys, we had a blast. To Brett, living the dream, a test track in his backyard!! Thank you. But a big thanks to the SJC guys and girls, you made a good weekend, great. Looking forward to our next outing.

Fantastic weekend away.

to Paul and Steve a massive thank you for being our guides and hosting the weekend. But more importantly for being top blokes with a great attitude to everything...

it it was great to catch up with the people from the SJC and spend some more time with them. We have a fantastic group of people that make wheeling and camping more enjoyable.

shout out and thank you to Brett for opening his doors to us and letting us bash around on his onsite test track. Very enjoyable.

cheers Alex.

Indeed it was a great weekend.

A big thank you to Paul,Stuart & ACT club who put on a great weekend and Bret at Jeep City for opening up his place to play on the test track

It was great to meet up and meet some of the ACT members, and cant wait to get them up here in our back yard

The tracks where really good and every where you looked there were more tracks to explore.

Thanks to every one involved from the navigators, spotters and recovering me from my uncomfortable cross up.

The night drive was just one of the highlights.

Thanks to all the SJC members who attended and made it a great weekend

Looking forward to all the pictures and videos

Cant wait for the next one

Thanks for a great weekend :) it was good to get out and put the Rubi through it's paces and do some 4wding which has been a while for us.

Izzy kept asking where her friends had gone after we left you guys in the morning on Sunday - she missed the jeeps LOL

Top spot and we will be back :)

Before I post the trip report can others attach parts where I missed. Eg Firstly, I arrived late on Friday night and everyone was in bed. Could someone fill in details about the meeting with our Canberra hosts and new friends; Secondly, I missed out on the night time drive Saturday night, what was the trip like, eta.

Re the initial arrival:
My mate (Blake) and I arrived at around 4:30pm or so expecting to see Steve & Dave E and others hoisting beers with the Canberra boys - that was not the case. We pulled up as it just started to drip a bit of rain onto us (after the GPS told us that we were driving through a field when going through the new section of Canberra) behind Pauls' green JK and hopped out - Paul said g'day and waved - Stuart said g'day and waved... with a carving knife... After a liberal dose of Chivas 12 year old & a few beers (with many laughs and a good chin wagging going on in the mean time) the rain started to ease up - I set up my tent under cover with the aid of Stuart - then, the rain stopped - Stu and I grabbed the tent and maneuvered it outside - after that - the sound of engines in the distance and the other Sydney fellas all rocked up - My doctor advised me to dose myself up on the old 12 year old blended to combat the cold weather so my memory of the rest of the night is a bit hazy after that sorry...

The night drive - as I was only a passenger that night (and following doctors order as I was not driving at all after we got back to camp) I will leave that up to the others to fill in

Last video - wasmucking around with the editing program this morning whilst working off my hangover ( a LOT of coffee) there's no sound as there was a lot of talking & wind noise (so chuck in the earphone or crank up some tunes to your taste) quality didnt turn out as great as I would have liked considering it was all recorded on an iphone 5 - but... "ya get that on the big jobs" (btw this has been uploading since about 11am today heh)
