Full Details
Date: Sunday, November 27th 2011
Time: Meeting @ 8:30am for a 9am start
1. Meet at Homemaker Centre carpark at Norwest Business Park
2. Cruise up to Windsor, and then onto Wilberforce/Singleton and Putty Road.
3. Cruise Putty Road, all the way to the north western Hunter Valley.
4. Turn right in Mount Thorley and head to Branxton.
5. Turn right in Branxton to Wine Country Road, and we will be having lunch in Pokolbin area.
More route info:
Estimated time to the Hunter Valley is around 3.5 to 4 hours. It is a 2 hour drive home via the F3 through Cessnock.
Putty Road is by far one of the best roads at the moment in the NSW region. Recently resurfaced, it is safe, smooth and offers alternating driving environments from open plains to rainforests.
The road has recently been scouted by myself (on one of my famous 3am drives), and I am happy to say it will be enjoyed by all.
Coming into the Hunter offers a chance for everyone to enjoy the slower speed limits and take in everything on offer. This includes tops down for the verts!
Destination info:
The Hunter Valley is one of the prime tourist locations in NSW. Late November will provide a great opportunity for wine lovers to taste recent harvest releases and also gives us the best possibility for great weather without too much heat (you turbo boys will love it).
We'll be having lunch at a yet to be advised location, however it will be updated as soon as I receive confirmation.
What to bring?
1. Full tank of fuel
2. Your DSC
3. Radio if you have one. There is NO mobile reception for most of Putty Road. I HIGHLY suggest purchasing a CB handheld radio from DSE prior to the drive day.
4. Wife/kids/family/mates.
5. Camera
