This one is to encourage the ladies to get behind the wheel, especially those new to four-wheel driving, but everyone is ultimately invited as the more the merrier, right?! The vibe of the weekend is friendship, appreciating each other's beautiful Land Rovers, and enjoying easy bitumen and dirt roads through the countryside with a few river crossings and steep bits thrown in. Therefore, your vehicle must be appropriately prepared.
Wiarborough valley is located in the south of the Blue Mountains in NSW, with our base camp for the weekend being Forestvale Farm, our beautiful rural property with views for miles. The plan is to meet on Friday evening, think sunset drinks on Picnic Hill finishing with dinner around a campfire by the old shearing shed. Saturday morning we head out for coffee and fresh croissants from the Argyle Inn in Taralga before heading east through Bannaby and Swallowtail Pass Fire Trail to enjoy a Boot Picnic at Land Rover Heaven near Marulan, kindly hosted by Dave & Janelle. The return journey will take us along back country gravel roads north of Goulburn to the farm. Settle in for a chilled Saturday evening (think: Backgammon, port, perhaps poetry and plonk) before a Sunday adventure into the southern Blue Mountains (possibly Yerranderie, or Mt Werong with a walk to Ruby Creek Lookout). The route and destination will depend upon road and weather conditions, and whether guests need to return to Sydney (via Oberon), or return for a third night at Forestvale Farm.
My motivation for this trip was to see more women in their Land Rovers, so grab your boyfriend or hubby or bestie and come join us. The itinerary has been prepared so you can come for some or all of the trip.
Facilities on the farm include a toilet, but you will need to bring all your own food, water and camping gear. Our valley is beautiful but can throw up four seasons in one day. For more about us check out @forestvale.farm or @wood.family.landys.
