Thanks go to Andrew and his family for letting us ride at their property yesterday. It's a perfect setting for practice on any bike.It has obstacles set-up and natural rocky terrain.No canteen yet but if we go back often he may set one up. :shock:
I'm hoping he invites us back regularly. This is one location that shouldn't be missed.Put it on your to-do list.
Thanks again.
Brian

A great practise riding area, lots of rocks, plus natural and man made obstacles - a most enjoyable ride session.
Many thanks to Andrew and family for allowing us to ride there.
True the lack of canteen was a bit of a downer however the coffee and lamingtons on the veranda were a good second best.
Hoping for a return invite soon
Terry

PS Dont forget last round Denman Twin Shock series this Sunday - Sykes at Martindale, be there

Hi Richo
I've recently retiered (early(56)) from work and have taken to restoring some trials bikes I have in boxes laying around my workshop.
I ride road/trail (r1200gs) and dirt excr450 when I can, but have always been extremely interested in trials and never had the time or enough go in me to persue what I think is the ultimate in control and finess. Well now I have time, the fist of my bikes is finnished (Fantic Section 249) and I am now looking for somewhere to ride it. I live on the central coast at Wamberal and around here off road motorcycles (registered or not) and there riders are treated as enviro vandles. Anyway a realy nice spot that I found in the Ourimbah state forest away from everyone (rock shelves, dropoffs, ups, downs) has recently been signposted warning of a $2200 fine for anyone caught riding an unregistered bike so I will never know if it is all I thought it might be.
I want to ride trials and increase my skills and I've thought about joining the Denman club but am not sure about competition.
Anyway if you have any more practice days where you don't mind others being there and if you don't mind someone of limited trials experience in the mix then I would love to be there.
Cheers
Rick

It is truly sad what has happened around central coast and Lake Macquarie area, i have personally witnessed parents[who ride themself]send their kids to ride around houses, one even took the muffler off for more impact, some just reving the engine, some roosting the residents, and here we are now with millions of acres closed. =D>

Richo,

Sorry Jakey (z50) and I could not make it to your place, the twins (you know who they are) could not stop raving about it.
I really hope to get there next time.

Cheers
