Trip Outline: This Driver Awareness Practical training session is for club members who have not done their DAP before. The Driver Awareness Program (DAP) is done in 2 parts; 1-Theory and 2-Practical. This DAP Weekend is open for those members who have already completed their DAP Theory.

Maximum 10 DAP students plus partners/family members.  

The Practical training session is held over 2 days where we teach you the basics of Four Wheel Driving. It covers basic driving techniques on a range of conditions and surfaces, recovery techniques and most importantly in a safe and responsible manner. Each student will be accompanied on drives in their own cars by a club member with DAP Advisor status to help and instruct you through the course. If you want more information just contact Nick Lagerberg.

It is a camping weekend, so you’ll need to bring along your camping equipment, either a tent, swag, camper trailer or caravan.

There is no power at this venue so you’ll be camping off grid, however there are toilets and hot showers available.

You must have your own 4WD, no young children or pets to be in the vehicles whilst training as they can be a distraction. We prefer partners to be in other cars rather than the car you’re driving. As
part of the Club's insurance requirements you must complete the DAP Theory & Practical session before you can go on a medium or higher graded Club trip.

The cost of this weekend is covered by the course fee of $170.  This fee is non-refundable.

You can arrive on Friday if you wish and stay longer, however, you'll have to pay for the additional night's camping.

Additional costs for other family members, friends, or additional days. $20 per adult, $10 per child per day. 

If you wish to do your DAP please contact Nick to discuss and to confirm a booking and additional details and requirements.

Limit: 10 DAP students plus partners/family members
Estimated Costs: $170.00
