    Default Capertee Weekend C Grade

    EDIT: We have to postpone for now. Will update once a revised date can be set.

    Capertee has much more than just the famous Genowlan Point Track (Mount Airlie). Kerry and I have not yet seen the Airlie Village ruins or the tram way track. And we haven't walked the grotto either. So it's time to settle into a weekend of exploration - C Grade style. 4WD access with a bit of walking and then 4WD home.

    It's all part of the SCA (State Conservation Area) that is Mugii Murum-ban, and new rules are being developed regarding access. So we will walk the system with the 4WD Association of NSW and ACT in terms of what needs to be done for access. This is likely to include:
    x vehicle registrationx record of people attending
    x checking on conflicts with other trips (we would need to re-schedule if needed)
    x trip/track report back to the Association and Parks after.

    To finish the C grade weekend, I think a return to Sydney via Turon would polish things off nicely.

    Where: Capertee

    Details: Something like:
    Sat am: Set up camp at the Mount Airlie camping area. Views to the famous Mt Airlie and Genowlan point track, as well as over the Capertee Valley.
    Sat lunch/pm: Visit Tramway track and Mt Airlie Village. Max 6 vehicles on tramway.
    Sun am: pack up, head back to Sydney via Turon River and exit at Sunny Corner.

    When:
    Sat/Sun 6 and 7 of May 2017. Postponed - date to be reset.

    Meet: in Lithgow - Bowenfelds Service Station

    Time: Saturday 8:30 for 9:00

    Grade: C Grade

    Requirements: First Aid; Sun cream; warm clothes (can be cool); recovery points front and rear (just in case); radio; food/drink; camping set up; camera; rubbish bags - pack it in, pack it out.

    Stock jeeps should be fine for this trip - but please know where your recovery points are. Pack recovery gear if you have it.

    Note: there are no toilets, so spade etc to be packed.

    Trip numbers: From experience we wont get big numbers for an early winter camping weekend, but let's say 8 including leader. Note however that only 6 vehicles will be able to run Tramway track. Maybe we can double up people into spare seats.

    Questions tonight whether people can just do one day. Yes of course it's possible. Both days basically start on the bitumen at Capertee.

    Naturally we would prefer a group camping and there are limited numbers on the Tram Way trail. Tram Way trail could be done both days of course. Lets get everyone with interest on the list, and work it out from there.

    We've had 4wd camper trailers on Mt Airlie diamond mine area before. No good for street caravans. Also Turon to Sunny corner should be fine.
