Hey Sydney-siders,

Date: Saturday April 17, 2010

Meet up: The old toll gates at Berowra on the Pacific Hwy.

Destination: Harrigans Irish pub, Pokolbin NSW.

Time: 9.30am meet up for a 10am departure.

Image

Details: Leave from Hornsby and jump on to the F3. Continue along the F3 until the Peats Ridge exit. From there we exit the F3 and continue along Peats Ridge road until Central Mangrove, where we follow George Downs Drive through Buckety and take the Great North Road through the state forest. When we reach Wollombi we will then take Paynes Crossing Road which will take us through more of the Pokolbin state forest (Twisties), until we get to Broke and turn on to Broke road to enter the Hunter Valley, and then finally stop at Harrigans Irish Pub on Broke road for lunch. Don't worry, there is plenty of car space!

We will be stopping Peats Ridge, so anyone from Central Coast / Newcastle feel free to meet up with the group there. Exact location has not been decided, feel free to make a suggestion!

Make sure you have a full tank of petrol before leaving, as you will most likely use this entire tank on the round trip.

We will be coming back via Cessnock and the F3, so people can take there appropriate exists from there (central coast etc..) or fill up with more petrol if need be.

Don't forget your UHF radios !

I have heard that Paynes Crossing Road is closed to through traffic between Wollombi and Broke (a guy who was up there in late Feb). I'd suggest making some calls to information centres/pubs/servos in the area
