Route
Sydney to Gloucester before challenging the hills along Thunderbolts Way to Tamworth.
Onto Armidale to travel down the winding and picturesque Waterfall Way through Dorrigo, Bellingen to Coffs Harbour. Returning via Old Bar to Sydney. Overnight stops in Gloucester, Armidale, Coffs Harbour (2 nights), Old Bar then home to Sydney.
The route has been calculated to limit each day’s travel to around 250km or 3 hours driving with the round trip from Sydney to be approx. 1500km.
Pricing
Estimated cost for our adventure for two people with 5 night’s accommodation, fuel and meals is approx. $1500.
Accommodation has been booked at each of the planned motels and I will need to confirm these rooms for participants in early February 2026.
As in previous years this event fills up quickly so don’t leave it to the last minute or you will miss out.
A limited number of rooms will be available.
Important
We will pass on your name and contact details in January 2026 to each Motel so they can pre-fill the reservation forms. Each participant will then be required to contact each motel to provide their credit card details for any deposits and payments.
It is highly desirable that every one has Road-side service membership and their Mini serviced and ready for the trip.
