I hadn’t been into Monolith Valley since the eighties and was keen on seeing its marvellous sandstone features again. An earlier departure from Wollongong on Friday than normal, allowed for an al fresco dinner at our start point on Long Gully Rd. We were snug in our sleeping bags by the time Fred arrived.

Participants: Lee Cordner (Leader), Sue Davies (Report), Steve Davies (Photos), Clifford Nowicki and Will Reynolds (South Coast BWC) plus Lani Imhoff and Michael Smith (Shoalhaven BWC)
We commenced this fantastic day trip on a cool crisp morning. Due to the consistent rain in the previous week the drive through several locked gates was challenging as some of the puddles of water were up to the car number plates and there were sections that were very slippery. As Will was the only driver with a two wheel drive, he chose to leave his car and bike the last kilometre to the car park where the rest of us commenced the ride. At this stage, after riding through the mud and pooled rainwater he was regretting his decision to wear a white T shirt that day.

After picking John Meehan, Lance, Bruce and Jo up by 7:30pm we were heading south. After a couple of beers at the Leprechaun Hotel we drove through and camped alongside the car in the tent by the side of the road. An amazingly fortunate choice of campsite as all the tent pegs went in very easily and remained firm all night.
