A shovel will be a good idea.

Re: Stockton Beach Trip - Early 2007
Rich,
quote: I believe the Lavers (Lavis?) Lane is notorious for bogging X-Trails, so we should use the Anna Bay entrance (correct me if I am wrong and these are the same entrance!).
You asked to be corrected if wrong Lavis lane is at Williamtown, Anna Bay is different and along way to go to get to the same place

True Matt,
You could get a car on the beach at Anna bay if you were desperate

Re: Stockton Beach Trip - Early 2007
I think we should think like a small baitfish being hounded by the sharks, stick together and let the weekest take one for the team.
If that fails, I'll pack the Glock.
Just checked the tides for the 6th and it appears we have a king tide of 1.77m at 0957 and then a good low of 0.31 at 1640.
Lavis Lane is a better option, considering its proximity to the dunes and also the Signa is about 24km from the north entrance, therefore only 12km from Lavis.
How about meeting at the main servo at the start of Lavers Lane (where you can also pick up our permits), mid morning.
IMPORTANT EDIT:
Just received a return call from the local quad bike club at Stockton and they are holding a Meet on the 6/7/8 Jan, basing themselves at Lavis Lane. Approx 200-300 quads and others will be using the area. Something to consider, knowing how busy Lavis Lane gets at the best of times. It may pay to head to the northern Anna Bay entrance and drive out via Lavis Lane in the afternoon when the crowds have thinned.

Re: Stockton Beach Trip - Early 2007
What is the main problem which gets the Exy stuck on Lavis lane ?
Is it the softness of the sand or the depth of the tyre ruts ?
With that many quads running around, the tyre ruts will probably be non-existant.
