Hi guys,

It was a good day out. Following guys attended the trip.


1. Mani @ Trbn8r

2. Dru @ DruNKerry

3. Martin @ SnakeDoctor

4. Jack @ Hayesio

We met up at Richmond McDonalds on time and were on the road about 0745. We reached Zig Zag around 0845. Aired down and hit the tracks soon after.

We got to the first challenge at The Wombat Holes. Dru accidentally slipped off a side and damaged his rear flare trying to back out. We all had fun on the wombat holes.

After that we headed to The Pipe Lines. Dru took us through a new route which was full of further wombat holes. We got to the Pipelines and did a full walk through before attempting it. We approached the start of the Pipelines from the chicken track and while doing so I got hung up on my belly going down a hill. Jack came around to help. Together we jacked up the rear wheels and placed some rocks under the rear wheels. Bit of driving and bit of rocking the car we managed to free it and join the rest of the crew patiently waiting for us. Every one did the track easily with minor road building. Martin needed a bit of tug from Dru to make it over the last rock step on the first stage. Me being the smallest car had to do a bit of bouncing around to get over it.

It was time for lunch and we stopped for lunch at the end of the power lines. While we were having lunch a mist suddenly descended and looked like it was going to rain.

We packed up and started making our way to the Spanish steps. On the way we it started to rain on and off. We made it to the start of the Spanish steps and we came across a group towing out a broken Toyota. As we finish the descent into the valley it began to rain heavy. There was a group at the bottom of the big step with numerous cars of various brands half on top and half on bottom of the big climb. They kindly stepped aside and let us pass through as we only had 4 Jeeps. We did the climb without much trouble and only me needing a few go's to lineup the Jeep properly. We got up to the top relatively easily after that and it started to rain even heavier.

We decided to give the rest of the planned tracks a miss due to the deteriorating weather and headed out to the main road. I had to go into Lithgow to pickup something I had bought on eBay a few days before, so we parted ways at Slate Mine Gully Road. I headed to Lithgow and the rest of the crew headed to Zig Zag to air up.

It was a fun and fast trip with only 2 casualities to report. Dru damaged his rear fender and Jack lost his rear mud flap.

Hope to see you guys again on more trips (roster permitting)

BTW we got a brief on the cyclic roster today by the rosters unit. It will be implemented towards the mid of this year and will give me a planned rotating roster for 1 full year in advance. So I can plan trips with a bit more notice.

Cheers
