    Default Introduction Trip #2 Watagans

    This is a stock jeep trip, SJC-style. Established club members are most welcome, to help with any potential new members.

    Visitors - if you are interested, just register at the forum (no cost for that) then post your interest below.

    General: Consider this an introduction to the main access routes through the 4WD playground north of Sydney. Kerry and I have been gradually adding interesting off-piste bits, so I hope it's fun for everyone.

    Where: Watagans

    When:
    Saturday 25th November 2017


    Meet:
    M1 Motorway services traveling North, just past Wyong. On Google it's called F3 Wyong North bound (Twin Servos). There is a Macca's and a healthy fast food as well.


    Time:
    8:00 am for 8:30 departure. Please be fueled and fed.


    Grade:
    C Grade - easy.

    Generally graded trails. Most of the route on our Navigation tool shows speeds of 20 km/h. Not a lot of low range though we might add a couple of "off piste" alternates - just because we can. Generally the track conditions are similar to Black Fellows Hand Trail in Newnes.

    The Watagans are famous for mud. Not much we can do about that but we are carefully avoiding all known major bog hole challenges, just can't guarantee you wont need to wash your Jeep afterwards. Likewise for overgrown scratchy bushes - we are avoiding all known scratchy tracks, just can't guarantee it. Wave Rock entry may have some small wet spots and branches, still C grade and definitely worth it.

    Requirements:
    Radio, food/drink of choice, camera. Full fuel tank. If you have recovery gear please pack it - no need to race out and purchase if you don't have any yet. Stock Jeeps are fine. Regarding Radio - convoy communications are a must. We have a hand held UHF which we use for spotting which can be used, but we really need everyone on the club Channel. See what you can do to help us out.

    This run is limited to: 10

    Hitesh. I doubt you would understand how frustrating a query like this is. So, Generally we would see a perfect day having the whole crew airing up with enough time to be back home in Sydney in daylight. Shit happens though.

    Mate, if you have something important on that night, don't come. Basic. Easy.

    If you want to play, I'm happy to guide.

    Please confirm your interest.

    Hi Dru,
    If this is graded C I would assume it’s WK2 friendly? If so please add us up to this trip (Khaled & Diana)
    Thanks!

    WK2 are absolutely fine. This C grade does not have any specific pinch points(challenge points above the grade). Most of the distance travelled is on are graded trails, though we pick up some side trails to keep interest up. We had WK2s last year that went fine. Nothing of course is without any risk, but this trail is specifically for stock Jeeps.

    I've got you on the list!
