Post by **philhod** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 8:52 pm

Is anyone going up to the Alpine Challenge near Dinner Plain this year.? We made the journey last year and had a great time and are coming back for more.

Just booked the Omeo Hilltop Pub again. It is about a 20 minute drive from the event and at $35 per person a night including a cooked breakfast you can't go wrong There is 11 of us making the jouney this year so should prove to be a great weekend.

So who else is heading up there???

Sounds good BigCam. For $35 bucks a night at the pub including cooked breakfast you can't go wrong.

See you there.

I drove into the event last year in the Girlfriends BA Falcon. Was a company car though so I just gave it a bigger run up than what you would normally do

Taking the Patrol this year.

On the Sunday though the event was up the hill a few kilometres from where it was on the Saturday. The Falcon couldn't get up there because of the lack of clearance going over the spoon drains. We just grabbed a ride in the back of a 80 series Ute.

Your All Terains will be fine. I'm betting you won't even need 4WD just more ground clearance than a standard CAR.

I'll be there in the Mav........Hoping to enter next year.

A few of us will be staying at Dinner Plain so i'm sure i'll meet some of you there.

Can't wait for the action!

any camping in the area?

will be our first time up there and thinking about dragging the camper trailer along, worth the effort or should we just take the swag's and find a clearing?

any one have information on fire reg's up there at the moment too?

Cheer's

Simon
