how hard is it would the old landy make it through

Post by **bru21** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 10:25 pm

such a fresh idea! sweet as. Might have to go for a pre drive or 6! wish i still had the 38.5's. Much / any winching involved?

cheers bru

Post by **big red** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 11:45 pm

the starting point is the Kings Road Campsite [ where the two long drop dunny's are]

As the track is quite long it has easy to see bits and hard to get to bits for the spectators.

Landy's will get through ok ... dunno about mog's though

you can winch if you like but it will slow you down

[shouldn't need to]

Post by **big red** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 9:07 pm

Update:
drivers get free camping but everyone else pays.

Dave will have food and drinks available during the day and will get back to me if he can do a meal on saturday night ... will post it here if he can.

have winched one of the dunny's back into place on the Kings road campsite
but there is no showers in that area.

Post by **big red** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 11:17 pm

The track will start at the Kings road campsite opposite the dunnies.

it goes through lake Tripygurgle then through the fence and down across the rock garden then over the coffee rocks [ this section is still closed off at the moment]

there is a fast section along the grass flats which is the last spot that spectators can drive to [ for spectators to access this section you have to drive to the top of kings road and turn right at the tripod and follow the track down the ridge line]

The track then starts to weave through the trees and over the rocks

before a water crossing is made

a short grass flat leads to a slippery rock section

the nissan got past and pulled the paj through

the track gets into a large boulder field

then tracks between some large rocks

and through a sandy section

before coming out on the other bank

and goes across some more rocks

and through a sideslope section just in front of a drop off

then there is another shallow lake

and its a fairly flat run to the finish line at the Dinner Hole

gunna be fun at speed

Post by **millhouse** » Tue Nov 21, 2006 9:18 pm
