Best to contact Mark or Troy, it's normally at the trip leaders discretion as to how many visitors can attend a trip.

Just got back from Stockton, it's the softest I've ever seen it amongst the dunes. A bit of wind and hot dry days and in between the dunes it's really tough going. I stopped going down a very slight hill, no brakes needed (as is typical of sand), and basically just sunk. I had to dig a ramp out in front of the tyres to get moving again. Ended up taking them down to 12psi as even 15psi was too high!!!

The tank traps had all but disappeared under the dunes and around there it was almost undrivable!!!

You guys should have some real fun up there especially if we dont get any rain before you go

Cheers
