Mount Airlie B Grade 27.8.16

[Dru]

Mount Airlie is closed this weekend. Send current posts on this thread for alternatives.

Dru'n'Kerry


As promised - this time in connection with a camping weekend.

Where: Muggi Murum-ban State Conservation Area aka MOUNT AIRLIE

Grade: B Grade

When: Saturday 27th August

Meet: Capertee Convenience Store 9:30 am for 10:00 start.

Requirements: This is a B Grade trip so attendees should understand - even with a well prepared jeep - damage is possible. To be fair most of the track is C+ but there are definite B Grade pinch points and there are no bypasses and no chicken tracks or alternate routes and precious few spots to park up. The final section through the she-oaks at the top of the mesa is overgrown, scratchy branches are to be expected.

Required: Recovery equipment, recovery points (front and back), robust rock rails, radio, first aid. Sturdy walking boots for steep rocky trails.

Recommended: 2" lift, and good articulation, disconnects. Mud tyres or good ATs, 33" suggested. Lockers not required but if you have them you will find them useful. Spares and tools to suit your jeep.

Other: Food and drink. Camera. Note that Kerry and I are camping on Saturday night and hope that the trip encourages a group to join us who may or may not be doing the B Grade trip. Consider joining us, and return on Sunday via the C Grade Turon River to Sunny Corner trip.

This trip is limited to: Change:We will run the Genowlan track only on the Saturday.

Contact: Plenty of notice on this one. For now please speak to me at the Club meetings if you need more information, or post queries here. Contact details will go up well before the trip.

Attending - to be confirmed!

Hi Dru,

Still definitely interested in being a passenger if anyone has room. Will have to work out where I can drive to and leave the KJ - and may then stay and spend the night too.

Thanks!

Dave

[Dru]

Just park up at the camping spot. Its 5 mins drive off the Genowlan Point Track. Probably most will want to stop on the way through and pin a tent spot.

[KegsyJK]

Hi Dru, I'd like to jump in on this trip.
I haven't done Mt Airlie yet, so might as well! :)

Cheers mate. We havent met, I dont think - say hi at the next Club meeting. Is that a JKU? Could you let me know your name as well. N the mean time we'd be chuffed to introduce you to Mt Airlie. Would you camp over and return via the Sunday trip?

Please take me off the list, I just found out we are double booked for a wedding that weekend.

I'm adjusting the front page with a mind to run Mount Genowlan only on the Saturday. Adrian, definitely it's a drive for you! John and DI, hope you can manage the Saturday?

We will still camp on Saturday evening, but return via Turon and Sunny Corner on Sunday. Those who wish to camp and run on Sunday are welcome.

Looking forward to both days, thanks for including me

Dru, has that large rock which dislodged when Stuart was climbing over that step, been removed yet? Would love to try it again but those bumps going back down at night knock my jku around a little last time. Have fun everyone, the view at the top is really great.

[Will98]

Hey Dru,

Im always keen for this track. Could you put me on the reserve list in case anyone pulls out please.

Cheers,

[Dru]

Hey guys. We'll take a further look through the list this week. Will, absolutely you're welcome on the reserve.

Rob, there is no way I can know how "the rock" is without running it again. We did run it the week after our ladt assault and it was still there. Who knows now?

[Elio S]

Hi Dru. As seems to be the flavor of the year, something has come up on that date and I won't be able to attend. Sorry for the inconvenience. Was looking forward to it too. Wanted to go offroad at least once this year :-(

[Dru]

Thanks Elio. Keep an eye on the trips - plenty of time to get out on the tracks this year!

Front page/list updated - trucks brought forward up the list. :-)

[Dave]

Hi Dru,

Very sorry, not going to be able to attend after all. This won't affect the car numbers, just one passenger.
Mum has asked for a hand at the retirement village that weekend :(

Thanks,

[Steve F]

Sorry Im out too, so much on and no time :(

I'm pretty flexible, 1 day, 2 days, pub or camp, just keen to get out and see how this thing goes.

[Mohawk]

Hey Dru and Kerry,

Please add us to the reserve list. It'd be great to join you and the crew on this trail.

If we are added to the list, we're happy to hang out at the campsite, but would likely crash at the pub.

Cheers,
Nick and Pam

[Will98]

Hey Dru,

Sadly I'm gonna have to pull out of this one, I'll actually be heading the opposite direction, down to Sydney for a Uni open day. Hope it's an awesome day out though, and that you get some good pics!

Will

Rod , cuase I broke my TJ last weekend I could drive up to capertee for a day trip in the Wk2 and then jump in your truck if your got a spare seat.

[Rocket55]

No problems Jose, seats all yours. You can teach me how to drive this thing!

PS: you might need a set of ear plugs, and a jumper as the heater dosen't work hahaha.

[Dru]

OK guys - the trip list is updated again, and yes there is room for another vehicle! Remember there is a chance that we are losing access to this track so worth doing so you can tick it off the bucket list.

I've done what I can through the National Parks website - there are no alerts or closures noted and i far as i know the Plan of Management has not been gazette yet - so everything is go. Will call them to confirm next week.
For those camping, suggest we camp at Mt Airlie itself on Saturday night.

Sunday return can be either:
a) Baal Bone thence Black Fellows Hand; OR
b) Turon River returning via Sunny Corner - could even run the Fluffy Bunny descent.

Talk over the fire on Saturday evening.

I might drop in a couple of pics and info over the next fortnight to keep everyone interested!

Dru'n'Kerry

Hey Dru,

Just thought I'd let you know that there's a festival down in the valley that weekend. So there is the likelihood of an increased highway patrol presence. Just in case anyone's jeep is likely to get a second glance, and warrant a defect notice.

Will

Adrian - is this your first trip with the SJC? Woot!

View from the ascent to Genowlan Trig - looking back over Capertee, showing the distinctive mesa formations and the reason that the Muggii Murum-ban State Conservation Area (Mt Airlie to us) is also known as the 300 Sisters. :highly_amused:

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll24/DruPics/Capertee%20Valley%20from%20Genowlan%20trig_zpsl8vn beqd.jpg (http://s284.photobucket.com/user/DruPics/media/Capertee%20Valley%20from%20Genowlan%20trig_zpsl8vn beqd.jpg.html)


The formations come from "ironstone" layers in the sandstone. Pre-Cambrian seas where high in iron oxides that were swallowed by some form of algae. As this stuff died it settled within the forming sandstone to create ironstone. It weathers more slowly than sandstone hence the interesting formations.

[Jku-365]

Dru

Yes, first trip with SJC :)

I know the Mesa 1 side quite well, but my first trip over to Mesa 2

Curious about the name, the topo maps for the area call it Mt Airly? I guess the Airlie spelling comes from Col and the diamond mine?

Looking forward to it :)

[KegsyJK]

Thought I better checkin and see where this meeting spot is :highly_amused:... I'm assuming its the Cappertree servo / shop on the Castlereagh hwy?

Cheers

[Dru]

Kegsy. Capertee convenience store. Also the last fuel stop, opposite the Park in Capertee. 9:30 meet up. They serve breakfast and coffee if you are there early enough to eat brekky before we leave.

if you are looking for markers of this trip:

Adrian, the ascent is actually Mount Genowlan, though we will be camping on Mt Airlie. Its called Airlie as the area was under control by the Ribeaux family and their "Mt Airlie Diamond Mine". "Ie" and "y" seem interchangeable but I doubt anyone worries about grammar. The National Park is the "Muggi Murum-Ban State Conservation Area". Named after Charlie Rielly a local tribal elder, aboriginal name Muggi Murum-ban means Mopoke Owl.

cheers

Dru

[KegsyJK]

Thanks Dru.

We'll see you all there!

[Dieselcon]

Take me off please... Maybe next time. [emoji25]

Hey Dru, unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out of this trip as I'm not going to get my rear diff and steering pump fixed in time, which let go on the way home on Sunday.

Just to keep everyone enthused - this is the return back into "Roof Rack Canyon".

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll24/DruPics/roof20rack_zps8ism3oem.jpg

And this is at the step exiting Roof Rack. We might call it "uncaged step". ;-)

With careful driving only to the rock rails. :highly_amused:

The step is a spot to be considering winching or a snatch (slow tug not a snatch). Trick is for the first vehicle to have a winch and ready to help the rest. Some close quarters in a few pinch points though, especially the section after Roof Rack on the rise to the plateau.

Closed parks: Pest management in Capertee National Park and Mugii Murum-ban State Conservation AreaThis park will be closed for pest management operations on 29 August 2016 and 30 August 2016, unless the closure is otherwise extended or removed.

Are 4x4s the pests to which they refer! ;)

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

[Dru]

OK team. We have to postpone - let me know if you prefer 1, 2 or 4 weeks later.

Options for this weekend - we probably will change this to a day trip:
1: Some may wish to join Steve Foster and play with the Renegade crew. I'm all good with that.

OR

2: Kerry and I have our mind fixed on chasing some more challenging driving down this weekend.
a) We could stick to the same area - maybe Lithgow rather than Capertee - Chinese steps and surrounds, or Fire Truck hill and surrounds
b) We can map out something in the Wattagans (bit closer to Sydney than Lithgow) - maybe coming back into Wiseman's Ferry
c) Possible shot at Yalwal - Tree root, dusties, or Monkey gum - this would be the longest day.

Those who want to swap to Mt Bonfire drop in on the Mount Bonfire thread. Those who want to stick with us let us know your preferences.

Dru'n'Kerry

PS "Pest Control" means shooting feral goats out of helicopters - it's a real risk and does need closure while it's happening.

[Mohawk]

Hi Adrian, I had the same question, and called the number in that post.

The gentleman who took the call wasn't comfortable making a decision on it. He said he'd find out more and return my call.

I'll post the response here as soon as

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

[Mohawk]

Hi Dru,

1) One or two weekends after this trip would be best for a rescheduled attempt for Pam and I. We have plans the following two weekends.

2) We're happy with a/b/c... looking for any challenging drive.
A) I'd keep our reservation, but not worried about cancelling it, as there's lots more than 24 hours notice.
B) You certainly made the Wattagan's trip sound great, before it was cancelled last time. Perhaps we could capitalize on that cancelled itinerary?
C) I believe I drove Middle Earth and Tree Root loop earlier this year with Jose. It was tons of fun and I was back in Sydney by dinner time.

PS: Nice catch on the alert. Is it habit to check them before a trip, or are you subscribed to updates? We could've been in a tight spot without the heads up!

Cheers

[Dru]

Yes, we always check. The National Parks web site is fantastic with the alert warnings. TBH I was a little slow this time - should have known about it last week. My excuse is we were away with my Father's 80th. Preferred to party than to check in.

Wattagans Daniel's Point Road remains closed unfortunately. We may never see it open. There are other trails up there though.

[Jku-365]

Sadly all my weekends are spoken for until mid October... Daughters wedding, family visiting from Europe etc... Perhaps later in the year for Mt Airlie.

Given the above... Desperate to do something this weekend!

I was really looking forward to returning to Mount Airlie as i had a blast the first time i went however now the track is closed i’ll give the day a miss as i have plans for the evening that i can get to sooner. Camping bucks night at Colo!

Also given the Mallee Country trip is only a few weeks away i doubt i’ll get to another day trip prior.

Thanks for organising and for keeping us posted with updates.

If it's 3-4 weeks later put us down again please Dru.
