Watagans Saturday 16th July

[D.K.]

Sorry guys - Trip cancelled due to ill health. See my last post on this thread.

Where -- Watagans State Forest
When -- Saturday 16th July
Meet -- Old weigh station, just north of Berowra by the F3.

map details: http://www.sydneyjeepclub.com/showth...5th-March-2011

Time -- 8.30
Grade -- B/B+

Tracks that are in the crosshairs are:

Skull & Crossbones, Whitemans Ln, Cut Rock, possibly Zigzag and ?Tunks (seems to be wet and greasy during the winter months). These are more technical driving tracks for experienced drivers and a 3" lift and body armour is advisable.

Track update 29/6 : Skull & Crossbones is currently in bad nick due to debris washing onto the rock slabs from heavy rainfall. We MAY give that particular track a miss till conditions improve. Zigzag and Whitemans should be good to drive.


Requirements -- recovery points Front/Rear, recovery gear, radio, food/drink of choice, camera.
This run is limited to 8 vehicles including leader.............
Further info contact D.K. 0434 848 482

This is the next 28 day forecast hence the timing.
The trip will be cancelled or postponed if there is significant rainfall before the trip.

Dave,
I am interested in joining this trip, but maybe my TJ is not up to specifications. You saw it on Saturday - are you OK if I join you?

Hi Greg,
take a look at this vid which covers some of the tracks we have in mind (but probably not Farrells):

At 2:13 and elsewhere there is a white TJ on 32's with at least one locker which did very well and is similar spec to yours.
You will probably incur some scrapes and dints to your sill steps but if you are OK with that and i know you can drive a good line you should be good.
The top of Skull & Crossbones has got quite dug out and you MAY need a snatch at this point but thats no drama. Hope that helps.
