    Hi Dru,

    Can you please add me on the reserve list. I have two front tow hooks installed on the wk2, but is the stock rear one good for recovery?

    Cheers

    reserve list updated as promised.

    Edit: worth checking those rear recovery points with a mechanic. Generally there shouldnt be a need to use them on this trip, just cant be guaranteed. The "makers" points tend to be shipping tie-down points rather than rated recovery points.

    Big Thanks to Greg D in joining us on Saturday for a reccie of this trip. Really appreciate it Greg!

    We were able to answer questions like "is the direction Dru wants to do this sensible for C Grade?" That would be "NO!" The rock bluff climb on the Baal Bone side required both of us to winch, and that could be a little tedious for a large group. Please check the front page because we need to change the meet up point to match the revised direction of the trip.

    The day was a genuine reccie - both vehicles did some tracks that neither had been on before. We will end up using a lot of that in the club trip. With Greg's input we now know that the trip has the right level of challenge AND is WK2 friendly. We'll get better feed back on the day but Kerry and I think this should turn out to be a really good club C grade. Achievable but with the right level of challenge to boast about, and of course some spectacular country that needs to be enjoyed in it's own right.

    We will take in a section of the powerlines, not so fab views there, but the driving is fun. We do Baal Bone on the second half of the day - here are some pics of the view and the dinosaur territory (ie it looks a bit Jurassic Park ish) on the way out.

    Ian, thought I'd give you something to ponder, two pics from the last winter run we had in this area. I know drivers of classics are made of tough stuff and we can always thaw you out in one of the heated vehicles at lunchtime.
