View Full Version : Stockton Beach
Hi all fellow Jeepers
I will be running a trip to Stockton beach to finish off the year
Where: Stockton Beach - Williamtown
This trip is for everyone who would like to have a relaxing day out on the beach, anyone is welcome, beginners included, there is nothing hard about this trip so any Jeep will be fine, but you will be required to deflate and inflate tyres, so bring a compressor, we will meet at Metro Service Station where you can get fuel and all your permits required to enter the beach, we will head out along the beach and hopefully find some dunes to play in, I also plan to display how to execute recoveries and how you can get yourself out of a bog, something I think everyone should know.
Bring something to eat and a chair as we will try to find a nice spot on the beach to have some lunch
Expect to finish mid to late afternoon.
When: Saturday 14th December
Meet: Metro Service Station Williamtown
1 Lavis Ln, Williamtown NSW 2318
Time: 9:00am for 9:30am departure. There is fuel available at the meeting location, this is also where you can get the required permit to drive the beach and dunes. Permits are $33 for a weekend pass. There is also McDonald’s across the road if anyone is hungry but we will be leaving at 9:30, no later
Grade: C. This trip is suited for everyone
Requirements: Any Jeep will be ok as long as it has low range. Also bring an air compressor, the line at the service station can be quite long
BYO first aid, food and water.
Recovery points front and rear are preferred but are not mandatory. Standard tow hitches will suffice. If you have recovery gear bring it, otherwise the trip leader will step in if necessary. Expect to use your recovery gear as the sand can be quite soft in places
UHF Radio to keep in touch with your trail buddies. Channel 15.
This run is limited to: 15 vehicles.
When posting please list your Jeep Model and your real name.

To anyone still interested, let me know we are thinking of opening the trip up for more people, as it’s just a beach run and nothing hard there is no real need to limit the amount of cars on this trip.

Hi Jared/Ben,
Just came from a month's holiday and saw this trip posting tonight. Is there still a slot available for me? I joined Stockton Cleanup years ago. Want to go back there again to have some fun on the dunes with my partner.
Thanks, James

If anyone wants to meet and convoy up to Stockton together, may I suggest meeting up at 6.15am and to depart by 6.30am
at the Old Berowra Toll Gates on the old Pacific Highway.
Does anyone know if sand flags are required to be used there????...

Great idea Steve, I’ll be heading up on Friday night and staying at a mates place so that will be good if others are not 100% sure where to go

Hi Nolan
Yes, a UHF radio is a must.
I started out with a 5w handheld and then went to a vehicle mounted UHF, which has better range.
Once a convoy spreads out a bit a handheld doesn't have the range to reach front to back for example.
I still bring the handheld with me as it is good to give spotting advice with, or to climb up a hill to get range in an emergency.
Go for the 5w version over the 2w.
Cheers
Ben.
Hi Ben.
thanks a lot.
See you.

Thanks for a super day Jared, and for offering to run the trip. Stockton is always fun. It was also awesome to hang out with new and old jeeping friends. We stayed the weekend in Nelson Bay and returned to the beach today for more dune fun!
Thanks

Well done!!!!
I had a great time despite the Grand issues my Jeep was having.
I managed to get home on Limp mode, with no boost.
Have 're fixed' the Turbo Actuator, but time will tell if 'fixed' is 'FIXED' LOL.
Merry Christmas All.
