Thread: Stockton yesterday

i drove lurch there on the australia day long weekend.......

i managed to get onto the sand and got half way to the water before lurch refused to go any further.......

he made me get out and drop my pressures down from 40psi to 22psi.......



it was the cold weather and the rain from the previous days that had compacted it all down to allow me to actually drive
in there with 40 psi.....i normally drop down to 12psi and just glide over everything......

i was with con (imposter)......we went fishing there.......






and caught nothing..........

Im a regular on stocko and to be honest 12 to 14 is the go up there.It always has something in stock for you.Dont be fooled by the harder sand after some rain because there will be some quick sand style areas.And besides why go up when there is only a couple of ya, we should have a meet up there.?????

Patto your right mate im a local stocko bloke and im up there all the time the beach will change overnight if the wind is right and the quick sand can be funny to watch DH's get stuck in

Need to organise another AULRO run on the beach soon before it gets too cold

ill be coming up on my own this time.......and camping on the beach.......

not only is it more fun.......but its also cheaper than our last trip there......



the decision to go onto the beach to fish was made late at night......it wasnt really planned......
it was dark when we got on the sand........and was almost getting light by the time we left......

im only a post away to go to stocko.Keeeeeeeen!

I went to Stockton for the first time ever on Friday arvo.

Admittedly, it was on the ferry from across the other side of the harbour.

You know what I have never done that, been on the to do list for a while now.

I grew up about 5kms from Lavis lane and now i'm stuck in the middle of the city it drives me crazy seeing pics of the Tailor and flathead my old man sends me on his phone from the beach! What a mongrel!

Stockton is my most favourite place ever, it has everything 4WD if you know where to look. If your within half a days drive and haven't been there yet, your as mad as a clowns c#ck!

Here's a tip on access - there are 2 entrances via Lavis lane; one is for normal 4WD's and the other is for the tour operators that have negotiated use of the area.

Your advised not to use the 2nd one but after using the first, you'll be thinking pretty hard about the rules here...

Also, to reinflate your tires, don't bother queing at the first servo - use the one accross the road! (seems really obvious but blokes line up for hours at the first!?)

I'll be on Stockton this weekend (finally!). Look out for the black HSE playing Led Zepplin on 11
