LOST Stockton Beach day trip (Proposed date Sat 29th Sept)

CD · **Posted:** Tue Sep 04, 2007 11:32 pm

Well I've been there once, fully loaded & the pod on the roof (So no dune driving :cry:

).
I'd like to do a day trip but don't know my way around so any takers to lead a trip :?:

I'd say meeting at the twin servo around 8.30am, lunch on the beach & head back mid to late afternoon.

Ed: You got me thinking about this after our trip to Coffs.

I'm in.
I'm actually going up there the w/e before (15/16) for just a boys weekend :lol:

I know where Tin City and the ship wreck is.
Can get the GPS co-ords for the tank traps.

As I was born and Bread in Newcastle and know Stockton well, I would like to say count me in too but a little too far for the day, but will think on it. :idea:

Sounds good Ed.

I just need to confirm when Karen isn't working so she can come along. I should know in the next week or so.

Not a lot, 3-4 times a yr, mainly for business. I try visit my Mother in Newcastle at the same time.

Soorry picked the wrong button. What I said was..........in answer to your question regarding my Sydney visits........"Not a lot, 3-4 times a yr, mainly for business. I try visit my Mother in Newcastle at the same time."

I have just spent the day on the KJ cleaning out all the mud & dust collected from Rover Park........ door sills, door hinges & frames, interior dust on seats and trims, dust caked into air vents...........plus the engine bay!! Man, mud just gets into everything. Chris....I even pulled out athe air filter and gave it huge blow out. Tomorrow I will continue on the Chasis & wheel arches etc. not to mention the exterior paint work scratches..... wow....where is a good detailer when you need one!!

Yep, that sux. I cleaned & pollished last week, after a trip to Newness today that was cut short you wouldn't know it had ever been cleaned (+ I hadn't even had a go).

Best of luck with the clean, I find a few coldies help

Still depends on Karen's work, I think the date is OK but she will 100% be working the Sunday. That kind of put's the breaks on camping, but you never know.

I will pm Jenko, Dave & Brian. Don't think they look at LOST all that often, in fact I'm sure Dave never does.

ed. · **Posted:** Mon Sep 10, 2007 6:34 pm

If you come down I'll be sure to follow you Latter :lol:

Chris, yeah no dramas. Just see how it goes.
I might just crash at my mates place on Sat night instead

CD · **Posted:** Mon Sep 17, 2007 6:03 am

Karen has to work in the evening so as long as she dosen't get told to come in for the day were OK. However I will have to be back in Hornsby by 5pm at the latest. Jenkos about 60% at this stage.

CD · **Posted:** Tue Sep 18, 2007 6:18 am

No longer a problem at Karen's work, she got the day off

(found out on the way home) . I've spoken to Dave (SJC) & he's keen to come along, Jenko's needs to confirm on Friday if he's got the day off work.

So we could have 4

Ed (Fearless Leader)
Chris
Dave
Jenko (60%)

Ed: Dave was wondering how the day will run & what time to meet (he suggested the twin servo's). Were thinking of staying up there on the Friday night, as it's a long weekend & the start of school holiday I don't want to be stuck in traffic leaving Syd.

Yeah that's do-able, this place is literally like less than 500km from the beach entrance

Not sure if they have any spots left. I might get a camping site with ensuite LOL.

Hey Guys don't forget the beach pass ($25 at servo on the roundabout just before the Lavis lane turn-off)
Sorry at this stage I'm a no-show but if things change I will post.

Yeah it's $30/yr now or $10 for a 3 day pass.
I aleady have a yearly pass

Hope you can make it Brian. Saw you one morning @ Winston Hills.

All booked for the weekend, if I'd realised it was a long weekend & the strat of the school break I'd have suggested another day but that old news now.

Dave will meet us at the servo at 9am on Sat morning.

What's the recommended tyre pressure for sand driving?
