Re: Stockton Beach Meet-up
Bummer! That's no good
The next date could be the ANZAC long weekend in April or any normal weekend where we could head there on Saturday morning (early) and come back on a Sunday night. (keep Mondays open for emergencies)
The other alternative is to make it a one day drive, where we leave Sydney Saturday morning (very early) and return on Saturday night.
Again, the suggestion box is open

Re: Stockton Beach Meet-up
Hi Guys,
19th of March is OK with me at this stage.
I will most probably make it a 1 day trip and return on the same day to Sydney.

Re: Stockton Beach Meet-up
Hi Dennis,
Thanks. That sounds like a great plan.
Closer to the day, can you please give us some directions to the service station, as I have only been to Newcastle once
How much is the beach permit?
Is there a beach area where kids (and us) could have a swim or is it all designated for beach driving only? Is Anna Bay a good spot for that?

Re: Stockton Beach Meet-up
Hi folks.
Went for a short trip to Stockton beach yesterday going in at Lavis Lane Williamtown.A combination of no rain lately,extremely Hot(ouch!) very soft, deep sand did not make driving easy.In a matter of 300 metres we became bogged with others in Hi-luxes,Hondas etc. 6-8 vehicles in all.We were towed out to better ground some 500/600 metres away with no more problems although the sand was still soft everywhere.Proceeded north along to Anna Bay exit stopping a couple of times.4WD warning light came on as we were driving at about 40 kms per hour.Stopped & turned car off & back on with no problems,Travelled about 30 kms on sand on the day.
We may have to change the entry & exit points to the beach on our trip, to Anna Bay to avoid any problems like this.
A UHF radio would be a good idea on the day to make communication easier if you have one.
Have we got any others interested in the trip.
Here fom you soon.
Dennis
