it looks ok,
CONDITIONS WATCH - UPDATE
All good, the trip is definitely on!
Rain today has been mild, after the heavy downpours this morning. Tomorrow is predicted no chance of rain at no mm. Watagans does hold water and drain slowly but we will do our best to avoid the obvious problem areas.
Parks have not closed any further trails due to inclement weather, there is just the usual to avoid the area in inclement weather in 2WD vehicles.
See everyone tomorrow at the meeting point - use the car park in front of MacDonalds - F3 services on the north motorway. Just past the Wyong tourn off.

I understand you mentioned C grade...
What would you class Greens Break Rd

Looking forward to the (slushy) trip tomorrow... My internal CB is shot but I have a pair of 80ch 2 watt handhelds... hopefully that's okay. Gonna take my brother (Dennis) and a mate (Scott) along for the ride.... Catch you tomorrow. Regards, Don M

Gradings are always subjective. This is a trip on the easy side of C grade - an introduction trip for stock Jeeps.
We use Green’s Break in our Watagans C+ trip. We are happy running B and B+ but this isnt that sort of trip. A is basically comp truck if you want to avoid damage, highly moded if you’re not so worried about damage.
Hope that helps.
C+ would be about right for that track with a bit of extra difficulty when wet...

Grades are always somewhat subjective and it is easy to under or over rate trails. Which doesnt help anyone. Green Break can be amusing at the tree. Cherokees are going to find it something of a deal breaker unless lifted more than the norm, and maybe even then.
The washed out clay climb just needs sensible driving, but if super wet it is only going to result in trail damage. Which doesnt fit with SJC thinking. We ran it last weekend after rain, I wouldnt call it above C+. Wetter than this and I’d suggest let it go for other trails.
Out of interest, we air down tomorrow at Cut Rock. I used to call Cut Rock B+, but these days noting that I have only once (last weekend) led a group through without serious damage somewhere in the group, I now call it A. Check out the cut tomorrow before we head out. Doesnt look particularly dangerous, but it is.
