Hi guys,

Now for the "stupid" question.....
What is "Driver awareness training'?
Is it to improve yourself as a driver or is it geared towards drivers who want to be trip leaders? Is it necessary to do this training in order to be trip leader?

Thanks.

Driver Awareness follows the same theory and practices as the accredited courses. It is not a requirement for being a trip leader, but aims to improve overall driver confidence with driving, and recoveries.

Yep, that's great.
we understand people can't always do whole weekends. Some can only do Saturdays, there only Sundays.
the fact you can & are willing to help for any amount of time is so appreciated.

the old saying " Many Hands make Light Work ".

Sorry, cant make it neither. Still no Jeep to bring and being O/S makes it extra difficult.

Getting an electric winch mini crane rigged up to the hitch mount for Jambo work but I suspect it may be a bit late.

Yep kind of guessed that after seeing the photos you posted of the toy. Besides, are you two ever in Australia?

Hi Guys, I may be interested, will the driver awareness training be available Saturday? Will prob only come up for the saturday. I am feeling this is more to do with the Jambo? Would like some directions too please. Thanks all

I'll be up on the Saturday...might just be me, might have one of the nephews.

Jose,
Wheeny Creek was not on the trip schedule last year, as it is more than 2 hours drive on bitumen to get to the start, and doesn't fit with the Jambo program.

In 2012 the furthest trip was Mt Airley, and even that proved to be an issue with the late return of trips.

There are a number of trips we didn't do in 2012 that we will consider for 2015:
Mt Bonfire
Sunny Corner & Turon
And some others around ZigZag (I am not even sure if we did the Glow-worm Cave in 2012). I recognise that some of these may be graded easier than you like (although maybe on par with 12 Mile which you lead on Saturday & which I really enjoyed (but I'm only driving a simple Grand, not a beefed up Wrangler).

But, Jose, I am sure we can find a suitable trip for you to lead.
I will be posting up a call for trip leaders by the end of April.

No glow worm? Cool, lots of fun to be had in the tracks off the sides of the main track with that one :D

I'm sure some drivers wouldn't mind getting up very early and start driving there at 5-5.30 am and back to Rydal late. Just a thought..

Maybe we could post up Wheeny Creek as a post Jambo trip for those wanting a bit more

I mean, they've come all that way from near and very very far...

Wheeny Creek was offered last Jambo but had no takers due to the distance

Lets get this back on track though who's coming this weekend ;)

For all those interested, There will be a good chance to see the Aurora Australis from Lithgow over the weekend as last night (Wednesday night) it was seen as far up as Nelsons Bay! Maybe a night run is in order for those who are camping. heres the site for the Aurora watch http://www.aurora-service.net/aurora-forecast/
