8:30 Meet at BP Baldivis, Freeway Southbound
9:00 Depart for Tims Thicket to let down tyres.
10:00 Have morning tea when we get on the beach at White Hills, along with a swim.
11:00 Get going.
12:30 Stop for lunch, around 2/3 way, and another swim.
13:30 Get on the way again
15:30 Relaxed afternoon tea (or a coldie if it's hot) at the cut, plus swim.
16:30 heading to nearest legal beach exit to pump up tyres and go home.
Needed are Recovery Points, Basic Recovery Gear, Compressor, CB radio would be real handy.
Difficulty is 2-3..... Great for older kids to practice on, so you don't get tired.....
Beach will be soft. 15psi lets you roll all over it quite easily.
Last time we had a big group of visitors in the convoy. This year we want more!!!! But we really need members to come for the drive and be willing to keep an eye on small groups of visitors. This will stop people from clogging up the beach and stopping the entire convoy if someone gets stuck.
At this stage, we can't get back on the beach at Myalup, so we need to go back out to the Highway and come back in again. It's not much of a detour. It's only 2km of HWY, and not worth pumping up the tyres for. We'll just take it easy, put the hazzard lights on, stay in the right hand lane, and it's no issue.
