There will very likely be a few posts like this, coming late in the week - as we reccie for Grease Monkey. Get involved where you can, though most reccies will have group small numbers due to the logistics involved when we are trying to works things out.
General: This reccie is Sean and Daphne looking to gear up for for Grease Monkey. Target is C+ Grade but possible B grade pinch points may be on the list. Reccie attendees will necessarily preference potential Grease Monkey trip leaders - though note that this one is not a D grade run and requires prepared jeeps.
Where: Watagans
When: Saturday 4th August 2018 day trip - to leave meet point at 9:30am
Meet: M1 Motorway services traveling North, just past Wyong. On Google it's called F3 Wyong North bound (Twin Servos). There is a Macca's and a healthy fast food as well.
Grade: Well it's a reccie so formally this is X grade - unknown; but the target is C+ Grade with B grade obstacles OK. We will probably be looking into some of these tracks:
a) CPT80 + Sawmill and "friends"
b) Green's Break + Creek Rd and Farrels
Requirements: Well prepared jeeps are needed for these initial reccies. Later trip leaders may ask for stock vehicles to test the trip, but first up we don't really know what we are up against. 2" lift, 33" off road tyres, recovery gear, tow points front and rear, first aid kit, radio. Fuel needs to be full leaving the meet point - we don't necessarily take the quickest route out to fill up, but target getting back closer to Sydney.
This run is limited to: Ideally 4 jeeps, 5 max for experienced club guys ready to push through on a reccie. Trips tend to be at a bit quicker pace between challenges.
Attending:
1. SeanC - Sean and Daphne, JK
2. dru - Dru'n'Kerry, JK (still in overlanding mode!)
3. richhenning - Rich, JKU
