A nice long ride behind the hospital

There is a dirt/gravel fire track that starts behind the hospital at Nelsons Bay near the RSL. A short run up to the water tower to get your heart rate up and then another trail - It goes forever - not challenging (unless you have small block 8's like me then staying upright on gravel was fun) but a good long ride with some wildlife ( roo's) and you feel like your in the middle of nowhere.

Stockton?

Stockton Beach is worth a look. If you go on at Anna Bay any old vehicle will do[1] Eye-wink

[1] It's almost like a sealed road that end, least was last time I was there.

Lavis lane is like quicksand
Submitted by GiantNut on Mon, 07/12/2009 - 12:33.

If your driving on Stockton - the Lavis lane entry ( near Williamtown) I don't recomend over 25 degrees temp ( grey sand gets very dry and goes into a pwdr) and esp if your in a softroader - its quicksand in there lots of traffic and if you slow down on a narrow track to avoid another 4WD then hope you have recovery straps handy - Anna Bay end is easier especially from headland entry - Although we helped a bogged rental Nissan Patrol there once - he was right once we locked his hubs i.e. engaged 4WD Smiling

I think Jonathon is looking to ride his bike on some trails, not drive a 4wd on the beach
