Half Day Cruise/Get together.

Location:
Meet at Sutherland at 8am.
I'll PM those who confirm beforehand where we are meeting.

Route

Will go through the usual suspects and maybe end up back in Wollongong for a coffee (take away or in) by the beach.
Royal National Park -> Mt Kiera -> Mac Pass.

Time

Plan for 8am departure from South area and back in Wollongong by 12ish.

Requirements:

* Roadworthy car in good order - tyres and brakes especially
* Check oil & fluids BEFORE arrival - top up if required
* FULL tank of petrol BEFORE arrival - the route used about 2/3 of a tank in the GTI with 9.xL/100Km on MFD. Don't expect to get 98RON easily anywhere down south.
* Check Tyre pressure - GTIs with OEM wheels can usually run 36-37psi front, 35-36psi rear
* Use the bathroom BEFORE we leave - there aren't too many opportunities to stop...

Recommended to bring:

* Walkie-talkie aka CB/UHF radio (FULLY charged), preferrably with hands-free operation (not necessarily VOX). It is useful not only for chit chat, but warning others of road debris, finding people when they get lost and is useful during overtaking.
* GPS (fully charged or with in-car charger) - "just in case". I plan to have a pretty idiot-proof map as I was lost when I followed along with another group. Not going to make the same mistake this time.
* "Sick bags" for passengers if any

Twisty roads travelled:

* Bulli Pass
* Macquarie Pass
* Mt Kiera Rd
* Royal National Park aka RNP aka "the Nasho"

Points of interest:

* Sea cliff bridge
